City of Spartanburg issued the following announcement on August 16.
How community leaders, early intervention strategies set the stage for Northside's historic redevelopment
Note: Later this year, the Northside Development Group will mark its 10th year since it was founded to be a land bank to guide development and protect the community’s interests on the Northside. The NDG partnered with the Northside Voyageurs, Northside residents and the City of Spartanburg to launch the Northside Initiative, the most comprehensive neighborhood revitalization effort in the city’s history. To mark this moment, the City will be sharing a series of stories and podcasts about the Northside Initiative over the coming weeks. You can check out part one of our article series by following this link.
Following on the heels of last week's release of the first part of our new series of articles and podcasts, Northside Rising, where we take a look back at the story of Spartanburg's Northside neighborhood, today on the City Podcast, we're delving deeper into the history of the Northside before the decision by the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine to build their Carolinas Campus in the neighborhood became a catalyst to galvanize the largest community redevelopment effort in Spartanburg's history.
Listen below for more, and be on the lookout for more from our Northside Rising series in the coming weeks!
