Community Vibrance

Embracing the Importance and Heritage of the Upstate’s Urban Areas and Small Towns

Though we have made much progress in reinvigorating the downtowns and urban areas within the Upstate, we will continue our efforts.

We will maintain and grow the vibrancy of the region’s small towns and special places. As we embrace our rich history and heritage, we will also continue to grow opportunities to enjoy and participate in cultural, entertainment and recreational activities.

Results:

Partnered with USC Upstate Urban Planning & Policy classes to develop a list of more than 50 “great ideas” created by communities across the state and country that have increased vibrancy in their community

Hosted four workshops across the Upstate where “great idea” experts shared insight into how they enhanced community vibrancy in their community through local initiatives

Partnered with Hughes Investments ELEVATE UPSTATE Community Vibrancy Grants program, which will award two $5,000 grants per year for the next five years to help local communities or neighborhoods grow their own vibrancy initiative
