WSPA-TV Asheville, NC (2/14, Moore) reported, "The Spartanburg City Council will give first reading Monday night to a five-year project concerning the redevelopment of downtown." The plan consists of developing "a new urban code -- which, for example, would limit the amount of street-level office space. Instead, the code would call for more retail space." The "core focus" of this code will be to bring "mixed-use development to downtown."
