GREENWOOD, SC--The Partnership for Tomorrow is a ten-month initiative to raise $4.5 million to implement the five-year strategic action plan known as The Partnership for Tomorrow Program of Work.

Key focus areas for the Program of Work include: Business Retention and Expansion, Business Recruitment, Talent Recruitment and Retention (Workforce Development), Quality of Life (Community Development), and securing an endowed chair in partnership with Clemson University and the Greenwood Genetic Center.

Business Retention and Expansion: GPA will be the preferred partner for existing businesses and employers to create wealth and recruit and retain talent.

New Business Recruitment: With regional and state partners, GPA will execute a recruitment strategy to capitalize on the strengths of the Greenwood Community. The five year goal: create over 1,000 new jobs and $400,000,000 in new capital investment.

Talent Recruitment and Retention: GPA will be the collaborative focus point between the education sector and employers in Greenwood County. All efforts will be made to develop world class education and training systems to support employers and the citizens of Greenwood County.

Quality of Place (Community Development): Greenwood will continue to develop communities and neighborhoods that provide entertainment, shopping, quality healthcare, and world class education as well as employment to attract and retain both young professionals and retirees.

Greenwood Genetic Center / Endowed Chairs: GPA will partner with the Greenwood Genetic Center, the Genetic Endowment of South Carolina, and Clemson University to develop and market the Greenwood Research Park as the premiere location for bio sciences research, treatment, and commerce in North America.
