This time we will explore the other municipalities in Greenville County. The day will include visits with leaders, walking tours and community updates in Greer, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn and Mauldin. We will also tour a local manufacturer as part of the day.
The tour is limited to 35 attendees and we have just 8 spots left, so please be sure and register early to secure your spot. Cost for the day is $25, which includes lunch.
We will leave from the TATT Office Parking lot at 8:30 am and return around 5 pm. We will not be doing a second pick-up location for this tour.
Because of other events scheduled in 2019, we will be taking a break from the bus tours next year, so you will not want to miss our final stop on the 13 stop tour we began in 2015.
