Our Leadership
On any given day, you can find Blake Sanders, President, walking or biking to work, project sites, or for pleasure in West Pelzer, S.C.
Blake has nearly 20 years of practical, professional experience as a Project Manager and Senior Landscape Architect for regional and international design projects. He has taken streetscapes, trails and parks from concept to construction and is known for his innovative design and construction strategies.
Blake’s experience includes community-oriented planning and design through charettes, streetscape improvement planning, corridor studies, bicycle and greenway planning, as well as municipal, campus, park, and recreation design. He routinely provides project management and design from conceptual planning through bidding and construction administration.
Blake walks communities through the charette and design process, engaging them in a series of stakeholder meetings and open studio sessions that culminate with community driven design solution.
The Main Street Approach
When you live, work, play and learn all on Main Street you have a different perspective on the importance and vitality of major corridors.
A Main Street is simply a centralized core where residents can come together and the very embodiment of the community. A place where people congregate and interact on a daily basis.
Many small towns revolve around a single core, while larger metropolitan areas consist of multiple cores. We seek to strengthen those cores, thereby elevating the community as a whole in the process. They should be regenerative, seeking to repair damage to the community fabric where it exists and lifting up the lives of those who are influenced by this fabric.
The Main Street approach is more than design—it’s a lifestyle.
