Downtown Salisbury is often heralded as one of the most successful mid-sized downtowns in North Carolina and rightfully so. Downtown Salisbury has seen some $60+ million of investment in their downtown since 1980. Another $15+ million has either just been completed or is underway with much of that work happening in the East Square Cultural District.
Created in 1983, UGDC’s mission is to promote economic growth in the Uptown area, coordinate the interest of the Uptown area with other organization and agencies for the benefit of Uptown and the community at large, encourage continued beautification, and sponsor, coordinate, and promote events and activities in order to maintain Uptown Greenwood's position as a focal point of the Greenwood community.
Uptown Greenwood is a special tax district with an area defined as follows: bound on the North by the main line of Seaboard Coastline Railroad, on the East by Seaboard-Pressley Street connector and Phoenix Street, on the South by Harvey and Washington Streets, and on the West by Edgefield Street.
Any property or business within these boundaries is considered a part of Uptown Greenwood and therefore, is entitled to have access to the benefits and services of the Uptown Greenwood Development Corporation.
The event gives Uptown property owners, merchants, and other interested citizens a chance to share ideas, hear from experts, hear about all the updates surrounding various construction projects, and socialize.
