TRAILSIDE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN

The City of Landrum’s Trailside Downtown Master Plan is designed to connect the future Saluda Grade Rails to Trails to our historic downtown, creating new opportunities for economic growth, tourism, and community connection.

The plan focuses on enhancing the visitor experience through strategic amenities such as public restrooms, seating areas, bike racks, wayfinding, and welcoming gathering spaces. By improving accessibility and walkability, the initiative encourages trail users to explore local shops, restaurants, and attractions while supporting small business visibility and investment.

Beyond economic impact, the plan promotes quality of life by providing safe, active spaces for residents and visitors to walk, bike, gather, and participate in community events. Through thoughtful placemaking and infrastructure improvements, the Trailside Downtown Master Plan will help strengthen Landrum’s identity as a vibrant, connected, and destination-driven downtown.
