South Carolina Grassroots Tour: A Roadmap for South Carolina's Economic Future

Description

Blueprint 2035: A Roadmap for South Carolina’s Economic Future

Presented in partnership with the Beaufort Regional, Greater Bluffton, Hilton Head Island-Bluffton, and Jasper County Chambers of Commerce

Join us for a critical regional session as part of the Blueprint 2035 Tour, a statewide initiative led by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce to create a long-range, comprehensive plan for South Carolina’s economic future.

As South Carolina continues to lead in population and business growth, we face a pivotal opportunity to ensure that growth is strategic, sustainable, and inclusive. Blueprint 2035 aims to shape that vision — and your voice is essential.

This interactive event will bring together business leaders, economic developers, educators, workforce experts, and industry stakeholders to engage in collaborative discussion and real-time feedback through live polling and Q&A.

Key focus areas include:

• Workforce & talent development

• Infrastructure & innovation

• Healthcare & life sciences

• Education & entrepreneurship

• Manufacturing, construction, and more

The South Carolina Chamber has partnered with Grant Thornton to lead the development of Blueprint 2035, which will include:

• National and global trend analysis

• A performance dashboard comparing SC to peer states

• Regional insights and recommendations from business communities across the state

This is one of eight stops on the statewide tour — don’t miss the chance to represent the Lowcountry and shape the future of our state’s economy.
