Yesterday’s State of Rock Hill Breakfast was outstanding. This sold-out event held at Rock Hill Sports & Event Center featured local City of Rock Hill, SC leaders.
We kicked off the event with our host Lucas McFadden. Special thanks to Lucas for keeping the panelist and the crowd engaged.
The Honorable Mayor John Gettys spoke on the City of Rock Hill’s strong foundational values and Anne Harty, the City’s Chief Financial Officer, shared a general financial update highlighting statistics showing the city’s favorable bond rating and a historical look at tax and electric rates. John Taylor, the City’s Director of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, shared the success of recent and upcoming growth of sports tourism in Rock Hill; and Jennifer McAdams, the Economic & Urban Development Director, spoke on the importance of building relationships for growth in Rock Hill communities. Lastly, we heard from Johnathan Nazeer, the CEO/Founder of Victory Gardens International, who spoke on the value of supporting the enrichment of Southside Rock Hill and a few related efforts that have been successful such as easy access to fresh produce and other basic needs.
