We're building a baseball field in Spartanburg right now. Something to look forward to in about a year and a half.

SO exciting!

Been living in Greenville since 2018 and its really more for the type of people who make 6 figures a year vs Spartanburg is the normal style of people, the crime says it’s bad but I’ve been all over that county and you’d never know the crime was bad unless you go into those certain neighborhoods

In November, 2023, the voters of Spartanburg County approved a penny sales tax for road repairs. It takes effect in May, 2024. This is not a new tax but a repurposing a penny sales tax that was approved in 2017 for the new courthouse, 911 center, city police headquarters and city hall. A new baseball stadium and mixed use development is under construction in downtown Spartanburg and is due to be completed next year. The city is expecting this to jumpstart revitalization of downtown Spartanburg

Spartanburg also has an expanding network of walking/biking trails. One of the trails was expanded through the downtown area last year with the first curb protected bike lanes in the state. Another trail was expanded to the site of a former grist mill with a dam and waterfall located 5 minutes from the downtown area. Last week, plans were announced for a new park next to Glendale Shoals being referred to as Central Park.

Not true. I was born and raised in Spartanburg and have lived here for many years. Like any city it has areas to avoid at night but overall it is quite safe. Check the state crime report on the SLED website for accurate information about crime in SC countries.
