PATHFORWARD MEMBERSHIP
PathForward: The Future of Shelby Starts Here
Exciting changes are happening in Shelby, and you’re invited to be part of the journey. Together, we’ll celebrate Shelby’s progress in economic development, downtown revitalization, and placemaking.
IT’S HAPPENING.
In early 2017, significant efforts began towards improving the economic environment in our city. The City of Shelby and the CIC adopted and put into action the Shelby Economic Development Plan. Focusing on the objectives outlined in the plan, incredible strides have been made including:
Built stronger lines of communication across Richland County, our regional partners, and the State.
Driver of downtown revitalization projects and community placemaking.
Leading the renovation of the Shaw Building.
Supported a matching grant façade program to improve building conditions.
THE PERFECT BLEND.
There is positive energy buzzing around and about Shelby. Other communities have taken notice of our progress and are asking how the CIC has achieved so much success in such a short period of time. The public/private partnership has been the driving force behind the CIC’s progress. The powerful combination of the City of Shelby’s investment paired with private dollars has been indisputably successful. The CIC has raised over three million dollars for improvements that will transform our historic downtown into a place of gathering that will naturally spur additional investment.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE.
There is still so much to do, and the CIC cannot do it alone. For the CIC to continue to move the city forward, we need community leaders to join us in our endeavors. The PathForward is a group of visionary leaders banded together who share the common goal of a thriving community. They believe that an investment today will forge a path to move Shelby forward.
As a community leader, we invite you to join the PathForward.
