We like being known by the abbreviation of “Partnership Alliance.”

Sounds redundant, doesn't it?

The fact is, the Partnership itself reflects the cohesive work of involved and active business and community members to reach specific targets, while the Alliance represents a streamlined process that draws on organizations and resources that broaden our capabilities.

But wait… There's a third element in the mix that is the true impetus behind our achievements: Partnership Alliance investors.

Investors in the Partnership Alliance — those who support Greenwood’s progress with their time, their ideas, their financial support — get immeasurable return on their investment: a hands-on realization of the continuing progress that is being made, an opinion in the process and the satisfaction of working toward a common goal — improved wealth for Greenwood's future.

The Partnership means that we work together as a team, melding our community's diverse needs into the mix for achieving success. The Alliance helps to provide us with comprehensive economic development tools to make it happen. And the crucial third portion, our investors, are the glue that bonds together business, people and ideas to identify real solutions in Greenwood's determination to continuously improve the quality of life for every citizen.

Invest in the Partnership Alliance. It's your future, too.

A Vision for the City Center

After finding a spot in an Uptown parking deck, you take a stroll down the tree-lined Main Street to stop into an upscale specialty shop for a unique buy or have a cup of coffee at a trendy new bistro. From your seat, you can see others leaving their Uptown apartments, on their way for a visit to the improved Greenwood Community Theatre, The Museum or Old Federal Building or heading to an outdoor cultural event or to a lush city park for a quiet moment.
