A True Natural Resource

 

Cherokee County enjoys a thriving and profitable economy and an abundance of natural and manufactured resources.

 

Cherokee County sits in a prime location just off I-85 between Charlotte, North Carolina and Greenville/ Spartanburg, South Carolina, two of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas and home to industries such as Freightliner and Nestle.

 

Gaffney, the county seat, is the largest city in the county, and Blacksburg is the second largest. Cherokee County offers an unbeatable combination of such factors as an abundant and educated workforce, a highly diversified industrial base, a high standard of living and quality of life, a pro-business attitude on the part of business leaders and government officials, a positive work ethic, customized training by South Carolina Special Schools, and easy access to transportation routes.

 

Most importantly, it is the citizens of the Cherokee County Community that sets us apart. Newcomers find friendly neighbors, schools that welcome their involvement, recreation facilities and sports in which they can participate, civic organizations, and a caring church community. Cherokee County-- be it in Blacksburg, Gaffney, or somewhere in between-- is a community you will enjoy calling home.

 

Add in the county's beautiful setting in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and Cherokee County becomes the perfect choice for business establishment, relocation, or expansion.
