The City of Spartanburg commissioned Milone & MacBroom, Inc. to design roadways and infrastructure to connect the Chapman Cultural Center, Renaissance Hotel and the George Dean Johnson Business School located in downtown Spartanburg. The work included the design of roadways, water supply and sanitary sewer systems, landscaping and storm drainage.
Also included in the design is a regional stormwater management facility to account for the improvements within the area bounded by Church Street, St. John Street, Daniel Morgan Boulevard, and Converse Street. The site design was complicated by existing road locations, tight building confines, and a 50-foot elevation difference from one side of the site to the other.
A drainage study is also being performed for an approximate 20 acre developed area south of St. John Street that drains to the site. Due to flooding problems in the road, the existing culverts will need to be upsized and the City is being proactive by performing the work during the development of the site.
