Leadership Golden Strip

T

he Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce and the Simpsonville Chamber worked together in 2018 to launch Leadership Golden Strip, a leadership development program for local business people in the Golden Strip area. The inaugural class began in June 2018, with participants graduating in spring 2019.

Leadership Golden Strip is a 10-month program for professionals with the desire and ability to shape the future of our vibrant communities.

Through face-to-face meetings with regional leaders and on-site visits with local agencies and businesses, participants explore the major issues and unique challenges facing the Golden Strip area.

“We are thrilled for this opportunity to collaborate with one of our neighboring Chambers, and to offer a more robust leadership development option for members of our community,” said Simpsonville Area Chamber President Allison McGarity. The Simpsonville Area Chamber has a strong history of developing community leaders by providing its own Leadership Simpsonville program, which will now be incorporated into the LGS program.

“Since joining the staff of the Fountain Inn Chamber last November, I have been pursuing meaningful opportunities to engage our members and encourage workforce and leadership development,” said Fountain Inn Chamber President Whitney Ferguson. “This collaboration is in line

with the mission of our Chamber, and I anticipate that our members will be eager to become involved.”

Participants must complete a rigorous application process, uphold the program’s strict attendance policy and meet all program requirements in order to graduate. The graduating class will be publicly recognized with a formal graduation ceremony.

This dynamic program cultivates corporate and community leaders by introducing them to the various aspects of developing and maintaining a vibrant community, establishing dialogue with fellow community leaders and facilitating their contributions to the betterment of the community.

Leadership Golden Strip will fuel a network of strong, informed, community-minded leaders that will go on to work for local businesses, start their own ventures and continue to serve those around them.

The program begins with a two-day retreat and continues with monthly sessions that cover topics such as local and state government, education, arts and history, infrastructure and more. Each session includes facility tours, expert presentations and one-on-one meetings with aspirational community leaders.

As the business community continues to grow, we are excited about the future of this partnership. We are very proud of our graduates and excited for what is to come.

t’s hard to believe I’ve been mayor for over three years! My time thus far as mayor of our great town has confirmed what I have always thought: Fountain Inn is filled with great businesses and people. Our dedicated city employees, council members and citizens truly make this town a lovely place to call home.

Our downtown continues to grow, becoming an increasingly popular destination in the upstate. Our weekend concert series fills the streets each week with families from our community as well as our neighboring cities.

The Saturday farmers market has also provided our residents a chance to savor and explore local produce and craft. These are just a few of the many steps our city has taken toward achieving our goal of creating family-friendly entertainment and events for everyone to enjoy.

With our new 2016 Master Plan complete, we are excited to present a clear and attainable vision for the City of Fountain Inn. I personally enjoyed having our residents play such a large role in the creation of this plan. This level of community involvement helps every resident take ownership of the future goals of our city. The staff at city hall has worked

tirelessly to complete this project, and I encourage everyone to look over our new master plan and get excited about the future of our town.

The growth of residential home sites and the construction of new schools prove that our city has something others want to be a part of. Though we have made great strides towards progress, our job is never done.

I would like to encourage all residents to continue to make a difference by shopping local and exploring the wonderful events and programs the city has to offer. Together, we can build, grow improve and watch our city flourish.

Thank you for all of your efforts to make Fountain Inn the “INN” Place to be!

Former textile town prospers with a booming auto industry

hen Fountain Inn was officially incorporated as a South Carolina city on Christmas Eve 1886, its economy centered largely on farming and textile mills. But as the American textile industry dried up, a variety of other manufacturers have moved in to replace those.

Many have to do with the auto industry, in part because BMW has opened a massive auto assembly plant in nearby Spartanburg County.

That was followed by a Michelin tire factory. And in 2012 the German firm ZF Friedrichshafen opened a 975,000-square-foot plant with more than 1,000 employees to make eight- and nine-speed automatic transmissions in Gray Court, just five miles from Fountain Inn. “Since BMW came into the area, a lot of their suppliers have moved throughout the Upstate, which has brought a lot of jobs and business opportunities,” said Ashlee Tolbert, manager of special events and community development for the City of Fountain Inn. An increasing share of those new companies have chosen Fountain Inn itself to be their home thanks to its desirable location and transportation.

Located in the fast-growing “Golden Strip” along Interstate 385 through northwestern South Carolina, Fountain Inn is just 15 miles from Greenville via that superhighway and less than a half hour from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. It’s just a 90-minute drive along interstates from Columbia and about two hours’ drive along Interstate 85 from both Charlotte and Atlanta. Fountain Inn’s industrial park also offers rail service.

The Greenlink Transit bus service reaches from downtown Greenville to the outskirts of Fountain Inn, and talks are underway to extend that service to Fountain Inn proper.

Michigan-based Tower International opened a $75 million, 264,000square-foot production facility in Fountain Inn in June 2017. The plant builds metal components and assemblies for BMW. The plant began with 40 employees and is expected to add 100 more jobs by 2019.

“We have a whole new category, a whole new type of work – highly skilled, highly specialized, based on brainpower,” South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said when Tower held its grand opening.

Yanfeng Automotive Interiors, the world’s largest supplier of automotive interior components, recently established a 365,000-square-foot Fountain Inn plant that it acquired from Faurecia SA. Yanfeng then spent $70 million to expand the factory by 100,000 square feet, adding 35 new jobs.

Bosch Rexroth has operated a hydraulics production plant in Fountain Inn since 1989. Beginning in 2013, the company invested $80 million in a five-year project to expand its production and convert an existing 260,000-square-foot industrial warehouse into a modern manufacturing and assembly plant. The facility now encompasses more than 100 acres of land and employs 700 people.

Caterpillar operates a manufacturing logistics plant in Fountain Inn while AVX Corp. manufactures electronic components.

Other major companies that have committed to Fountain Inn and the adjoining Golden Strip include W.W. Grainger and Emitec Inc. One of the newest, Lowe’s Foods, opened about five miles away in Simpsonville in 2017.

Growing Population

Whether they go to work in one of those local industries or find employment 20 minutes away in bustling Greenville, newcomers find Fountain Inn to be a convenient, affordable and family-friendly place to call home.

“People want to live in Greenville County, but our housing is a little more affordable than the downtown area of the county,” Tolbert said.

Fountain Inn has been sustaining a steady growth in population, from the official census figure of 6,000 at the turn of the century to 7,799 a decade later to an estimated 8,700 in 2017.

Most Fountain Inn people still live in single-family homes. But a supply of 350 market-rate apartment units recently was reinforced by a new 396-unit market-rate apartment project.

Median household income is a healthy $52,000 a year.

Shopping & Dining Fountain Inn offers big-city access, small-town warmth, downtown boutiques

M

any of the thousands who decide to make Fountain Inn their new home do so because it still hangs onto the family-friendly feel of a small Southern town but also offers easy access to the excitement of a big city. And they also can find a wide array of shopping and dining right in Fountain Inn, with a special emphasis on boutique stores.

“Our Main Street sells the town,” said Whitney Ferguson, a lifelong resident who has become president and CEO of the Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce. “Whether your planning to relocate or start a new business, you’ll fall in love with our cities charming history and warm hospitality!”

Though Fountain Inn itself consists of a homey 8,700 people, the Greenville metro area

is home to more than 500,000. That makes it the third-largest and fastest-growing urban area in South Carolina.

Many small towns and suburbs have struggled to keep their central business districts alive in the 21st century. And just a little over a decade ago that was the case with Fountain Inn. But an ambitious revitalization project put into place in 2006 has turned what used to be a greater-than50-percent vacancy rate into a 90 to 95 percent occupancy rate.

An ambitious Streetscape Beautification Project widened sidewalks, added landscaping and increased parking. The former Fountain Inn High School building was converted into the Younts Center for Performing Arts, with a 418-seat auditorium.

Many of the new businesses have brought a boutique theme to Main Street: The Black Tulip, opened in 2015, is a lifestyle boutique with women’s apparel and home decor.

I Declare! stocks gifts, home accessories and jewelry.

Inn Season offers floral arrangements, interior design and home decor.

Lilies on Main has floral arrangements for any occasion that can be ordered online.

The Southern Sisters Boutique, run by sisters Danielle and Mary, offers women’s clothing, pressed-flower jewelry made by one of the sisters, jewelry, accessories and gifts.

Expected to open on Main Street in 2019 is the Strike Inn, a “boutique bowling center” with duck pins, a full bar and kitchen, and big-screen TVs.

New Fountain Inn High will focus on manufacturing and technology

xcitement is building as Fountain Inn residents look forward to having their own high school again for the first time in more than 60 years. And this time it will be a school offering special opportunities to prepare for a career in today’s advanced manufacturing and technology world.

From 1939 until 1957, the city sent its teenagers to Fountain Hill High School at 315 N. Main St. But when Greenview County Schools opened Hillcrest High in nearby Simpsonville, the Main Street building was converted into an elementary school for the next 40 years. Ultimately it became the signature Younts Center for Performing Arts.

Local teens still have been getting a solid education in nearby towns, at Hillcrest High, Woodmont High and Mauldin High. But for many Fountain Inn folks, it hasn’t been the same. They missed their Blue Devils.

Greenview County Schools officials announced in 2018 that that will change in August 2021, when construction is finished on a new Fountain Inn High School along Quillen Avenue. The school will start with just freshmen. One new class of students will be added each year until all four years are attending in 2024 and the first graduating class emerges in spring 2025.

Construction will begin in 2019. But between then and 2021 many exciting details need to be filled in. Community meetings will be held about 18 months before the opening, as the school system decides on things like attendance boundaries. Students, parents and other members of the community then will get the chance to decide on a mascot and school colors.

“We believe the students need to have an opportunity to weigh in to make those decisions,” said District Superintendent Burke Royster.

The school will be built for 1,000 students and later expanded to house 2,000. It will offer traditional high school classes, advanced-

placement courses and college-level courses. But facing the needs of a hi-tech age, it also will house a wing for advanced manufacturing and engineering.

Charles Gunning, lead architect for the design, said that although students won’t be required to take manufacturing classes, the design of the facility leans on that program as its centerpiece. “We’ve incorporated a large window in the lobby so you can look down and see into the advanced manufacturing space,” Gunning said. “We want this to be front and center.”

Athletics will begin in the first year with some varsity sports and some “C” level and junior varsity teams. GCS expects to have a full roster of varsity sports at Fountain Inn High by 2024.

Meanwhile, younger students from Fountain Inn attend public schools in the big Greenville County School District, whose 76,000 students and 101 buildings make it the 44th largest school district in the United States. These include charter schools, four career technology centers, a center for gifted middle-school students, and programs for those with mental or physical challenges.

Inside those schools one can find Promethean boards with Internet access, laptop computers, iPads and computer labs. The typical studentto-teacher ratio is a low 17-to-1. The district has the state’s largest school-choice program, with 15 percent of students attending a school of choice.

Families also can choose from a number of private and parochial schools.

High-school graduates who are ready to embark on the next leg of their academic journey and older people who want to freshen up their job skills can do that, too, without traveling far. The area boasts a host of nearby community and technical school options as well as several private and public colleges and universities.

ountain Inn Activities Center is all about our community. Youth sports remain an important part of the city’s recreation offerings: Baseball, softball, basketball, tackle & flag football and volleyball are offered each season. The popularity of youth sports has resulted in expanded programs, as well as offering an adult softball league, that on average hosts upwards of 18 teams.

The Activities Center provides a multi-purpose facility for people of all ages, with a full-court gymnasium, fitness center and meeting space.

Senior activities are free of charge to those ages 55 and over, and include exercise classes, walking, health screenings and educational workshops, crafts and special interest groups.

The parks and recreation department also sponsors several community events throughout the year: The annual Soap Box Derby Race on Aunt

Het and a 1-Mile Kids Run/5K Rudolph Run in December, as well as hosting a city and community-wide Veterans Day ceremony.

The parks and recreation department manages nearly 50 acres of public parks, exceeding the national average for towns of this size.

PD Terry City Park and Woodside Park (soon to be upgraded) provide ballfields, picnic shelters and playgrounds, along with tennis courts and much more.

As Fountain Inn continues to grow, the parks and recreation department is looking forward to meeting the needs and goals of the community through expanding and upgrading all facilities in years to come.

n 2017, The Cultural Arts Foundation of Fountain Inn acquired the Younts Center for Performing Arts from the City of Fountain Inn, and local businesswoman and entrepreneur Debbie Alphin became executive director. With an outcry from the public to keep the center open and the arts alive in the area, Alphin hired Melody Yasi to serve as artistic director and re-opened the theater doors in October. The Tonynominated, “Smokey Joe’s Café” featuring a new and phenomenal local cast, was met with great response and brought the center to life once more.

The Younts theater season continued in 2018 with the musical comedy “Nunsense” and their first original musical revue, Groovin’, Great Hits of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. Both shows were nominated for local theater awards, and the buzz has continued to grow with their enchanting production of “Disney’s The Little Mermaid.”

In addition to high-quality local theater, The Younts Center is also home to several resident companies. The Fountain Inn Chorale, under the direction of Jane Birmingham Morlan, continues to grow, now with over 70 members. The Fountain Inn Symphony and new resident company, Dance Beyond Dance Studio, also add richness to the community. As a result of the dedication of their staff, these groups

continue their outstanding performances at the center.

The Younts Center continues to host regional and national outside entertainment like The Drifters and Rick Alviti’s Elvis Tribute.

Additionally, Alphin introduced The Gospel Series, bringing in national gospel groups to a sold-out house on several occasions.

In addition to shows and performances, the Younts Center also offers facility rentals, including the theater, Atrium Venue, banquet hall, meeting room and classrooms. The Younts Theater seats 418 and is an excellent conference setting for various types of organizations and businesses. A new children’s theater program and after-school arts program are slated to begin in 2019: visit www.yountscenter.org for upcoming information.

The Cultural Arts Foundation, Alphin and Yasi are committed to continuing this venture to provide one of the best entertainment venues in the Upstate and make the Younts Center for Performing Arts the “INN” place to be for performing arts. They are excited and pleased to continue the growth and progress the Younts Center for Performing Arts has made since its beginning in 2008, and greatly appreciate your attendance and ongoing support.
