Social Offerings, Openness Key to Community Attachment

Social Offerings, Openness Key to Community Attachment

As we discuss the attributes of the Hartsville, SC community as compared with those remarked upon in BOOMTOWN, we can see that Hartsville has a great deal going for our small cosmopolitan community. The above link takes the reader to a gallup discussion of some of the data collected in 2001 and before on a study called the "Soul of the Community." It seems to me that these are good ways to begin tracking the assets of our own community.

This coming Friday The Byerly Foundation in conjunction with the City of Hartsville and the Hartsville Chamber of Commerce is hosting a discussion with some of the Human Resource managers from businesses in and around the Hartsville community to get some of their thoughts on the strengths and challenges of the community. It promises to be an interesting discussion.
