Supporters
The Downtown Greenway is a public-private partnership between Action Greensboro and the City of Greensboro. With more than 3 open miles of paved walking and biking path encircling downtown Greensboro, the final mile is expected to be completed in late 2025.
More than 450 foundations, businesses and individuals have given generously to make the Downtown Greenway a reality, in addition to public funding from local, state and federal sources. Annual sponsors allow us to activate the Downtown Greenway and offer community programming.
To join our family of supporters and become part of the Downtown Greenway story, please consider making a donation today.
