If you\u2019re a veteran listener of the City Podcast, by now you\u2019ve become familiar with our preferred format: about 15 minutes focused on one topic. So we\u2019re breaking the mold a bit. From an ongoing $2.5 million citywide parks improvement effort to a major capital project at the Downtown Memorial Airport, there is a lot happening in Spartanburg right now. Indeed, now perhaps more than ever, the City of Spartanburg is Always Doing.\nYesterday, on\xa0, we talked about the City's\xa0parks improvement plan and a major downtown streetscaping project that will soon get underway Today, we're picking up where that conversation left off, talking about an extension of the runway at the Downtown Memorial Airport, the daylighting of the new Butterfly Branch as part of the Northside Initiative, and\xa0one key downtown corner that soon will look a lot different than it does today.
