Respondents were asked the open-ended question “What is the current reputation of Greenwood? – What do people say and think about Greenwood?”
Respondents describe Greenwood’s current reputation in largely positive terms, emphasizing its antique shopping along with its quiet, peaceful, small-town character and a reputation for being safe and family-friendly. There is also significant mention of Greenwood’s close-knit community-oriented nature, indicating that local friendliness and neighborly values are central to how the City is viewed today. On a concerning side, a number of respondents point to deteriorating streets and poorly maintained properties, and there are criticisms of past local leadership issues.
