Since 2013, Clemson's Department of Landscape Architecture has worked with The Oconee County Branch NAACP, the community and the city to envision this historic district revitalized by the development of complete streets, expanding pedestrian space and displaying history through text, images and structures. The corridor will feature a memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Blue Ridge Community Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is a site of community, cultural and historic significance. The Blue Ridge High School served the African American community during the segregation era, evolving to house community facilities, event space, and nonprofit organizations. The site’s green space will eventually include recreation fields, playgrounds, gardens and open space for the community. It is situated along the Dr. MLK Way Seneca Cultural Corridor. This central location ensures easy access by many residents in the surrounding area to critical services and joyful events.

The Seneca Industrial Park is home to 111 acres that are shovel ready for manufacturing and industrial development. The site has already been cleared and has access to state highways and is adjacent to the rail spur connecting to the Norfolk Southern Railway.

This site could be designated for single family housing with prices geared towards workforce incomes. These homes could operate with a 10-year down payment plan entry point for residents to build equity to purchase homes incentivized by the Opportunity Zone. This more affordable option can provide much-needed housing for citizens in the opportunity zone. The site is adjacent to Goddard Avenue and Dr. MLK Way. It is also within walking distance to the bus line, downtown Seneca, the Blue Ridge Community Center, and the industrial park. It is adjacent to a former rail-spur which holds potential to link the mill and single-family home site to downtown via a greenway/pedestrian/cycle trail.
