Special Projects

The Community Development Department also administers several other programs and projects for Spartanburg County to assist our citizens.

Citizens' Academy

Spartanburg County’s Citizens’ Academy is a learning forum intended to provide participants with insight on how county government works, open lines of communication between citizens and county staff; provide information on how citizens can easily utilize the services offered by county government; and provide a realistic understanding of county government operations.
 
There are two 8 week sessions each year, beginning in March and September. Information on applying for a class will be posted here. For more information Contact Kathy Rivers or Chasity Davis at 864-595-5300.
