Welcome to Strategic Spartanburg!

For the past year, Spartanburg Community Indicators Project has been evaluating the community's progress on the indicators.  USC Upstate's Metropolitan Studies Institute (MSI) is leading this effort by collecting and analyzing data for each of the 10 community goals.  Reports have been released for education, economy, families, health, environment, civic engagement and safety.  The entire reports can be found in our resource section.  Below is a schedule of release meetings for the remaining two reports.

If you would like to receive updates about data release and meetings, please fill out a Keep me Informed form.  If you would like to join us in improving Spartanburg County, please visit the Get Involved section of the website to find out how.

Our goals include:

1. Our children will excel academically through the provision of quality education.
   
2. Our citizens will obtain the degrees and training to equip them to compete in
   a knowledge-based workforce.
   
3. Our senior population will be able to live independently in so far as possible
   with necessary support from their communities.
