Upstate SC Alliance Responds to Anderson County Finance Committee Recommendation

November 8, 2010

UPSTATE, SC – November 8, 2010 – The Upstate SC Alliance is working to fully understand this current situation and we look forward to open dialogue with Anderson County Council concerning a clear path forward as we continue to globally market this ten county region as the right climate for global business.

The Upstate SC Alliance’s efforts to market the Upstate as a highly desirable region have a dramatically positive impact on each of its ten member counties, five member cities and 170+ private company supporters.  Year to date those efforts have led to more than $1.88 billion in economic investment in the Upstate SC region and over 6200 jobs created.
