Who We Are

One Sumter represents a community-wide initiative to support and enhance economic activity in Sumter County. Launched in 2014 as an ambitious capital campaign to support the work of the community’s existing economic development efforts, the One Sumter Economic Development Foundation, Inc., was birthed as a partnership between the Sumter County Development Authority and the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce.

With over 100 donors and investors in this grass-roots effort, One Sumter successfully raised $2.2 Million dollars within the first 12 months. A dynamic example of an aggressive public-private partnership, One Sumter is a five-year strategic growth initiative for Sumter County.
