Spartanburg County is growing fast—and SpartansFirst advocates that growth strengthens our community rather than straining it. We focus on matching development with the infrastructure we all rely on so families, businesses, and individuals can thrive. 

Unlike a traditional chamber of commerce, our nonprofit organization takes a regional view—connecting Spartanburg to surrounding communities and filling the gaps not covered by other organizations. We stand behind and support our law enforcement and first responders, recognizing their vital role in keeping our community safe and prosperous. Through technology innovation and entrepreneurship, we encourage founders by providing education and recognizing their efforts to create the jobs of the future. 

We’re equally committed to improving accessibility for everyone, with a focus on technology platforms that enhance the lives of visually impaired and disabled individuals. In 2026, we’re launching a membership program that gives everyone—from individuals and families to corporations—a way to actively shape Spartanburg’s future and ensure smart, safe, and enduring prosperity for generations to come.

Unlock a free 30-month pilot with SpartansFirst for “Here to There” — our smart accessibility service. Install Bluetooth, ultra-wide band beacons, or geo-positioning outdoors in your venue to help visually impaired guests and all users locate key features while also accessing your venue’s information such as menus, directories, websites, and promotions. The app’s "Nearby" function extends this experience outside your venue, allowing customers to find your location, explore what you offer, and view daily features or promotions before they arrive. Interested venues can request the service at: store.spartansfirst.org
