Program areas at Our Upstate SC
Initiative 3 Upstate mobility alliance: a major initiative that Our upstate-sc started in 2017 was the connecting Our future mobility initiative. In 2020 this effort was formalized as the Upstate mobility alliance. In 2023 uma focused on regional/state transportation policy while also supporting the growth of public transportation in union, greenwood and cherokee counties. Uma also partnered with scdot and gsp international airport to begin a regional study on the viability of creating a transit hub at gsp international airport.
Initiative 1 start-grow-upstate: a key area of focus for ten at the top is helping support organizations that provide services to entrepreneurs and small business owners in the Upstate. In recent years, a special focus has been put on providing greater outreach to pockets of population that often are not aware of resources or how to tap into them. We have called this effort connecting the disconnected and it includes the start-grow-upstate web portal and the entrepreneur resource navigator program.
Initiative 2: regional task forces: as part of the mission of Our upstate-sc to implement the Our upstate-sc vision, the organization coordinates a number of task forces and regional work groups. In 2023, Our upstate-sc hosted task force and committee meetings on a wide variety of issues including public safety, workforce & skill development, senior issues, entrepreneurial support and natural resources. In 2023, this included partnering with SC dhec and the SC office of rural health to develop a regional behavioral health collaborative.
