Established in 2002, the
Spartanburg County Economic Development Corporation (SCEDC), an
affiliate of the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce, is a 501 (c) (6)
tax exempt organization. The SCEDC’s purpose is to promote economic
development and to concentrate its energy and resources on the economic
development of Spartanburg County, City, and the surrounding
municipalities. The focus is to generate capital investment and create
and retain jobs in Spartanburg County in the manufacturing and
non-manufacturing arena. These goals are accomplished by implementing
an extremely aggressive marketing effort, consisting of national and
global Project Development trips, along with participation in strategic
trade shows.
The economic development effort in Spartanburg
has been very successful in recent years, particularly in the
manufacturing arena. Cooperation between the public and private sectors
has created a pro-business climate that equates to success. In the
current global economy, competition has increased and the project pool
has decreased; therefore, we must seek ways in which to diversify our
local economy. The SCEDC, via its aggressive project development
initiative concentrates in the automotive, chemical, plastics and
metalworking segments in the manufacturing arena and the logistics,
distribution and office segments in the non-manufacturing arena. |
