Spartanburg County community leaders this week launched Connected Spartanburg.
The program seeks to increase the number of high-tech companies and jobs, ensure that schools have sufficient access to broadband, and maximize technology options for healthcare, libraries, local government and citizens.
“By bringing high-speed Internet to our community, we put our region ahead of the curve,” Allen Smith, president & CEO of the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce, said in a release. “Technology puts Spartanburg on the road to success by fostering new jobs, new opportunities, and increased economic development.”
Representatives from all seven Spartanburg area school districts, Spartanburg County, the City of Spartanburg and business and government leaders are involved in the project.
Multiple teams will be reaching out to others in the community to complete necessary surveys for the assessment of overall broadband and technology innovation in Spartanburg County.
