Citizen Spartanburg is building a movement to inspire citizens to pick up the banner of Spartanburg’s future and march forward.

We believe hard- working citizens not only have the power to transform their community but it is our responsibility to get involved to define what we want our community to be

We will bring new voices, new ideas, and energy to the decision-making table.

We will capitalize on our community assets -- our neighborhoods, colleges, non-profits, citizens -- by taking their creativity and passion and putting them in action.

We recognize the city is the economic engine of our community. We want to ensure a strong and vibrant future for Downtown Spartanburg.

We are dedicated to improving Spartanburg’s quality of life to not only improve the lives of our citizens, but also help attract business and retain our best and brightest citizens.

We are an action-oriented group dedicated to building a community-minded culture by encouraging a “we” not “me” approach to community goals and projects.

We will create a safe haven for open dialogue where constructive ideas are welcome but ‘can’t do’ attitudes and apathy are not.

We want to inspire an extraordinary synergy to make Spartanburg a place where people want to live, dream, work, and stay.


We hope you will join us on the journey.

Citizen Spartanburg is a dynamic organization, ever evolving, committed to moving Spartanburg forward by building a stronger participatory democracy and enhancing quality of life.
