The Greenwood County Community Foundation has taken the lead, along with prominent local collaborating partners, to devise and implement a long-term strategic and comprehensive plan to make Greenwood County a healthier and more viable community for all. Over the years, multiple attempts have been initiated in Greenwood County around such projects. Even so, there has been no financially-sustained,
long-term, comprehensive community assessment and strategic plan for collaboration affecting large-scale community change. The Greenwood County Community Indicators Project aims change this, by making Greenwood County an even better place to live through collaborative efforts that will develop a healthy and vibrant community. By engaging County residents, stakeholders, partners, and community leaders, the project aims to establish coalitions and collaborative efforts necessary to make a positive impact in Greenwood County. By conducting a County-wide Community Needs Assessment in the form of Community Forums and Community Surveys, we were able to identify key focus areas and measurable community indicators necessary to impact positive change in Greenwood County.
