One of the early architects of the public-private partnerships that transformed Greenville died April 30 at the age of 94.
Without 20-year City Manager John Joseph Dullea and his partner Mayor Max Heller, Main Street may still have four lanes and few trees instead of a shaded streetscape with two lanes and wide sidewalks. The Hyatt hotel, sometimes called the first major step in the rebirth of downtown Greenville, may have been absent from the Emerald City’s skyline, along with the tourism impact of the Peace Center for the Performing Arts, according to Dullea’s obituary.
After hearing about the about the then-innovative public-private partnership through the International City Managers Association at least four decades ago, Dullea introduced the concept to Heller and the city council and convinced them that it could play a critical role in transforming downtown, according to his obituary.
