The Vision Plan is designed to improve quality of life and raise prosperity throughout Spartanburg County. Since Vision Plan 1.0 launched in 2017, Spartanburg County’s per capita income and educational attainment rates have increased, Spartanburg has attracted 14,298 new jobs, and significant investments have been made in outdoor amenities and Downtown Spartanburg.

The Vision Plan 2.0 created an ecosystem of support services for small businesses, ignited local solutions to the childcare shortage, and propelled funding for 577 road & infrastructure projects.

Community input will help shape the Vision Plan 3.0, which will guide our community’s next five years. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete, and your input can have a lasting impact on Spartanburg County’s future.
