This year, we're going to South Carolina!

Greenville, South Carolina, is a dynamic model of thoughtful growth, economic revitalization, and community collaboration, making it an ideal destination for the Greater Waco Chamber’s InterCity Leadership Visit. Greenville has transformed into a thriving hub for innovation, tourism, and advanced manufacturing through strategic public-private partnerships, smart urban planning, and a strong commitment to quality of place. Its vibrant downtown, emphasis on walkability, and investment in green space and the arts have contributed to sustained population and business growth, all while maintaining a distinct sense of community.

By studying Greenville’s approach to economic development, workforce readiness, and downtown reinvention, Waco leaders can gather practical insights and proven strategies to inform our region’s own progress. Greenville’s story offers a compelling example of how mid-sized cities can successfully balance tradition and transformation, exactly the kind of best-practices learning opportunity that can inspire bold ideas and forward-thinking leadership in Greater Waco.
