RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE TEXTILE CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN
WHEREAS, Winthrop University is committed to being an active and
supportive citizen of its host community; and
WHEREAS, the Old Town area of Rock Hill suffers from declining
population, low household incomes, and vacant and deteriorated
buildings; and

million square feet of vacant and underutilized space; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rock Hill desires to see this corridor become a
vibrant mixed-use center for housing, retail, restaurants, institutional
uses, small businesses and education; and

economic activity and provide the potential for the creation of a
college town atmosphere in proximity to the Winthrop campus, thereby
adding to the quality of life for our university and the broader
community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rock Hill, Rock Hill School District Three, York
County, Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation, York County Regional
Chamber of Commerce, Winthrop University, and York Technical College
have co-sponsored the creation of the Textile Corridor Master Plan;
