The Economic Development Administration awarded a $5.33 million Project Grant to the City of Gaffney, South Carolina on March 31, 2022 under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307). The funding will support transforming the former Carnegie Free Library building into a Revolutionary War Discovery Center highlighting Gaffney and Cherokee County's contributions to the American Revolution. The Center will tie together existing Revolutionary War sites in the county to draw more visitors from along the Overmountain Victory Trail in neighboring states and from overseas. Once completed, the project aims to assist the region's recovery and make its tourism industry more resilient by increasing employment opportunities, saving jobs, spurring private investment, and advancing regional economic resiliency overall.
