Over the next 22 years 235,000 new residents, 118,000 new households, and 203,000 new jobs will be added to the Upstate region.
The Upstate Reality Check mission is to bring together and build an action plan for stakeholders that are interested in working regionally to manage growth in ways that are economically viable and environmentally sustainable so that every new resident, new job, and new household enhance the quality of life of every citizen in the region.
Welcome to the Upstate Reality Check
Game On!
ULI Reality Check is a collaborative regional visioning process, developed and supported by the Urban Land Institute and brought to the Upstate by Upstate Together and ULI South Carolina, that brings together leaders from the ten upstate counties to begin to build consensus about how we want our region to look in 2030 and how we can best work together to manage the opportunities and challenges of growth.
Reality Check will spark an inspired, informed and ongoing regional dialogue around such questions as: where will these new residents live, work and play? How will these decisions impact employers, schools, roads and other infrastructure in your community? How will we work together to accommodate growth, protect historic resources, the environment, and quality of life, and add value to the region’s communities?
