We were in the newspaper today! Citizen Spartanburg’s wheels are turning! Welcome to our website and thank you for checking out our blog!  The goal here will be to post at least once a week (at least to start!) and keep you informed about what we are working on and eventually recruit others to post about what is happening in our community.

This project is a grassroots effort by regular citizens who want to make a difference in our community. We have jobs and families and lots going on in our lives but we take our responsibility as citizens very serious! We believe it is up to us to make our community what we want it to be and we need as much help as we can get. We know we need to keep our goals realistic. We are going to work hard for little successes because they do matter. We hope to build stronger connections between Spartanburg and our citizens. We want more people involved in the process. We want to raise the level of civil discourse. And most importantly, we want to see more pride in our community because this is our home and we should be proud!

So, keep coming back. Sign up for our newsletter. Come to a First Monday meeting. We will be sharing more and more opportunities and ideas and we hope you will share your ideas with us!
