We are pleased to announce that Hughes Investments has committed $15,000 to support three grants at $5,000 each for the 2022 Elevate Upstate Community Vibrancy Grant program. Two of the grants will be deployed across the Upstate in the same manner that has been done since the start of the Elevate Upstate Initiative in 2013. The third grant will be for a project to be deployed at the new BridgeWay Station Development in Mauldin.
We will be holding a Hughes Investments Elevate Upstate Grant Workshop from 1:30-3:00 pm on Wednesday, July 20th. The session will be held in the 200 Building of the Park 37 Complex in Greenville (200 Executive Center Drive, Greenville, SC 29615). During the workshop Dean Hybl will provide an overview of the Elevate Upstate Grants Program, Jonathan Irick from Main Street Laurens will share tips for applying for the grant and how Laurens has used the grants to help in their main street vitalization program, Rivers Hughes will share about the opportunities related to BridgeWay Station, and Phil Hughes will discuss what he and the other grant selectors look for when reviewing the applications.
The deadline for the initial Elevate Upstate Interest Form is August 5, 2022. The deadline for the completed applications is September 16, 2022. The grant finalists will present their project during the TATT Celebrating Successes event on November 16, 2022 with the grant recipients being announced during that event.
You can find all the application material for the 2022 Elevate Upstate Grants on the grant web site. In addition, the site lists all past grant recipients as well as shares tips and ideas for potential vibrancy projects.

You are invited to join Know2, Wholespire Cherokee County, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), and Ten at the Top for a Cherokee County Health Data Walk on Thursday, August 11, 2022 from 10:30 am-1:00 pm at the new Broad River Electric Cooperative Office (1036 Webber Road, Cowpens, SC 29330).
WHAT IS A HEALTH DATA WALK? The Health Data Walk is not a physical walk in the woods (sorry), but instead is a chance to view key health data points for Cherokee County at seven different stations located within the community room at the new Broad River Electric office. This session is an important part of developing the Community Health Strategy for Cherokee County, so we are especially interested in including the business community, local residents, and community leaders. Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone you think would be interested in attending.
The session is free and open to any interested community members, but advance registration is requested as we will be serving lunch. You can register through this link or the QR code in the graphic above.

The Use of Analytics to Drive Policing Workshop was held via Zoom on June 13, 2022 with presenters Dr. Lee Hunt, PhD, from the Greenville City Police Department, and Dr. Michele Covington, PhD, from the USC Upstate Crime Analysis Center (UCAC).
Crime analysis assists in evidence-based policing, is efficient and resourceful, and ensures that decision-making is strategic and fair. Ultimately crime analysis holds accountable those who commit crime, provides assistance for victims, and enhances crime prevention.
