A Recent History of Downtown Spartanburg Growth

It's tough to miss the signs of dramatic change in Downtown Spartanburg these days. With $800 million of development underway on a handful of blocks west of Church Street, the landscape looks a lot different than it did a few years ago and the skyline will soon look much different than it does today. But how did we get here? What were the moments in Downtown Spartanburg's recent history that built momentum for the current record-breaking investment we're seeing today. Today on the podcast, we're looking back at that recent history to provide context for the changes underway in our city's core, from streetscaping projects that improved the pedestrian landscape, to historic redevelopment projects that breathed new life into long vacant icons.
