Fall facade freshen Up Initiative

Cooler temperatures, colorful foliage and a new fun downtown initiative called "Fall Façade Freshen Up" kicks off the autumn season. Since today - Saturday, September 23 - is the first day of fall, we are encouraging businesses to participate by freshening up their façade and doing some routine cleaning. As you know, the fall and holiday seasons are packed with fun downtown events, which allows our beautiful city and your amazing businesses to be on full display. Fall for Greenville, alone, will bring representatives from national media outlets who are known to either publicly or discreetly explore and enjoy our downtown business community while in town.

You will notice the City is celebrating the change in season by leading the Fall Façade Freshen Up initiative by updating City Hall's entrance while also deep cleaning public spaces, such as pressure washing sidewalks along Main Street and preparing for fall planting.

We sincerely appreciate your participation as we collectively work to illuminate downtown in Q4 of 2023. For convenience, below is a quick Fall Façade Freshen Up checklist:

• Clean windows
• Dust the cobwebs on façade signs and window sills
• Remove old, outdated posters on windows 
• Replant store window boxes and planters
• Pressure wash awnings
• Paint doors and window sills/trim, if needed
• Update and/or clean café encroachment furniture. Please consult with City staff before purchasing new encroachment furniture to ensure it meet City standards and requirements

If you see public spaces that need attention in your area, please do not hesitate to reach out to me, Downtown Project Manager - Cameron Campbell at cjcampbell@greenvillesc.gov. Happy Fall!
