The downtown area has in place what many know as a merchants association; it is called the Greer Station Association (GSA). The group is made up of all businesses located in downtown, property owners or anyone that has a “vested” interest in the success of downtown Greer.

The Greer Station Association’s Mission is:

• To create tangible value for membership in the Greer Station Association.

• To engage in specific marketing and branding activities that promote Greer Station, that improve business opportunities and that provide opportunities for new business growth.

• To support the development and execution of events that promote Greer Station.

• To be a group that provides networking and social activites for those individuals and organizations with a vested interest in Greer Station.

• To help identify and assist with issues and projects that affect the maintenance and revitalization of Greer Station.

The GSA group has in place three committees:

Marketing Committee

• Increase the public awareness of Greer Station and encourage residents and tourists to patronize Greer Station Association businesses.
• Provide resource support to Greer Events for annual events and the Greer Development Corporation in its efforts to recruit, expand and retain business in Greer Station.

Events Committee

• Develop regular networking and social events for the Greer Station Association.

Advocacy and Downtown Imporovement Committee

• Identify issues taht affect downtown and assist with maintenance and redevelopment projects in Greer Station.

With these committees, we also have a Chair who works diligently to ‘champion’ the initiatives that the GSA membership develops. This person(s) acts as the contact person for the group and works along side the Greer Chamber and the Greer Development Corporation in regards to issues or strategies that concern Greer Station.
