Public-Private Partnerships: Strengthening Our Community
Public-private partnerships with shared goals and aligned objectives are vital to building a stronger, more vibrant Sumter. The City of Sumter is proud to foster these relationships, as they play a critical role in our collective success.
Our mission is clear: The City of Sumter exists to provide our citizens an environment of opportunity and excellent public services. We do this through Investing, Inviting, and Serving the City of Sumter.
In pursuit of this mission, the City actively collaborates with both private and public sector partners through monetary and in-kind contributions, volunteer efforts, and grant funding. This spirit of partnership drives our community forward.
Every day, the City of Sumter impacts the lives of our residents—at home, in business, in travel and safety, in what we see, in how we grow, and in our health and well-being. These touchpoints are made stronger through meaningful collaborations.
At the city level, we are committed to building strong relationships that nurture trust and support shared goals—whether social, economic, or developmental. Our partnerships are not just about projects; they are about people.
The people of Sumter are our greatest investment. And with the ongoing commitment of our community partners, we will continue to grow together—creating a place where opportunity thrives and everyone has a role in shaping our future.
