Upstate Environmental & Economic Summit

Join us as we launch a three‑part statewide journey bringing visionary leaders together to turn ideas into actions: Shaping a brighter environmental, economic, and infrastructure future for South Carolina.

South Carolina is growing at a rate faster than any other. As more people and businesses call the upstate home, SCDES is inviting you - the visionary leaders of state and local government, business, utilities and conservation - to work collaboratively on strategies for responsible growth and economic prosperity while recognizing the value of the state's environment.

The agenda will feature panel discussions and interactive sessions on economic impacts, growth challenges, infrastructure priorities, brownfields opportunities, wastewater capacity, and the region's solid waste/recycling system.

Please register today to share your vision for South Carolina's environmental and economic future.
