To Wilma Moore, the Highland neighborhood is the best place in the world to be.
That s why Spartanburg City Council s unanimous vote to approve the Highland Transformation Plan in late November meant so much to her.
She s lived in Highland since she was 11 and has worked at the United Way of the Piedmont for years advocating for her neighborhood. The transformation plan serves as a beacon of hope for the revitalization of Highland, which she s seen through all its ups and downs.
Finally, Moore s neighborhood is getting the attention and investment she thinks it deserves. I want everyone to know that Highland is the best place in the world to be. We have people that have lived there all their lives. Everybody cares about everyone else, Moore said.
