Downtown Greensboro
Downtown Greensboro
Business district
Greensboro’s downtown is a thriving economic center that has been vibrant since the late 19th century. New construction is almost a constant. Even during the Great Depression of the 1930s, construction was noticeable. During the 1950s, business slowed, and people flocked to the suburbs for space and expansion. Emptiness gradually increased over the next 30 years. In the 1990s, the downtown area reignited and thrived to become the destination it is today. Downtown Greensboro is a prosperous and vibrant urban center today, memorable and meaningful for those who choose to live, work, and play here.
