This is a great opportunity to make sure you are clearly communicating the impact of your project.

We recommend reviewing the NOFO and answering the application questions in a separate document that can easily be attached to an email. You can also submit your work plan and budget information. Email [email protected].

Always happy to host Hartsville Young Professionals and Darlington County Progress while learning about economic development efforts in Darlington County. Come back soon!

What happens when community leaders, young professionals, and local businesses come together to talk about the future of Darlington County?
A packed room.

We were excited to see standing room only at our recent Lunch & Learn with Hartsville Young Professionals. The conversation focused on economic growth, workforce development, and the opportunities shaping our community's future.
Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, shared ideas, and invested their time in making Darlington County stronger. The engagement and enthusiasm in the room were a reminder that our future is bright when we work together.

We look forward to continuing the conversation and building momentum for the next generation of leaders across our region.
