Community Vibrancy
Embracing the importance and heritage of the Upstate's urban areas and small townsEach city, town, and village within the Upstate has its own unique charm, character, and history. It is vital as we look toward the future to embrace and enhance these individual characteristics and features while also understanding how they collectively help give the region its own identity. Creating communities that are pockets of activity and have a sense of place is vital to regional vibrancy, as these centers often serve as local gathering places. They can also become magnets for entrepreneurship and cultivate economic success.
