South Carolina’s Media Engine for Economic Growth

elcome to the 2015 edition of the GSA Business Book of Lists. The Book of Lists contains a collection of detailed information about Upstate business not available anywhere else. We have gathered in one place the critical data behind the economic force that is the Upstate business community. Inside these pages are resources for learning the big names in the regional business scene and the information essential for facilitating those key connections. It is a true business-to-business tool that is easy to navigate and provides a wealth of information and statistics on Upstate business. As the book grows, we have continued to enhance the usefulness of the publication by adding better navigation through color-coded sections that include table of contents and section titles at the top of each page and within the tabs in the margins. This year we have added an Upfront section highlighting some of the important dates, statistics and trends from last year. Putting together the Book of Lists continues to be a complex endeavor, and the end result is a publication that will help you build your business, as well as find the services you need to enhance your operations, whether you are new to the Upstate market or an established business. Under the Resources tab at www.gsabusiness.com, you will find the electronic version of our Lists & Leads. Online, you can add your company information to our database as well as maximize your use of the list data by downloading lists as Excel spreadsheets, view lists in PDF format and use a Google Maps search option all year long. Thank you to all the companies that shared updated or new information with us this year. We strive to maintain accuracy and heavily rely on the cooperation of contributing businesses to provide us with the most accurate information available. We appreciate the time and effort. Our sponsors play a vital role in enabling us to continue to bring you this essential tool for success; please take a moment to learn about these companies on the About Our Sponsors section on Page 2 and 3. A special thank you to our title sponsors Cherry Bekaert, Eastern Power Technologies and Upstate SC Alliance for your support in providing this vital resource to the business community.

After years of some of the highest jobless percentages in the U.S., the Palmetto State has seen annual job growth in many sectors increase and the unemployment

rates in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metro areas drop. In the Upstate, the Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson areas saw an average decline in employment rates during the last six months of 2014, based on data from the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.

BROADBAND ACCESS ABOVE 90% IN GREENVILLE AREA INTERNET ACCESS ACROSS SELECTED S.C. METRO AREAS T elecommunications companies, Internet services providers and local and state officials continue to work toward expanding Internet access and public data networks to assist in economic development and educational efforts across the U.S. and South Carolina. A 2013 study by U.S. Department of Commerce found that nearly 82% of residents in South Carolina had access to high-speed Internet, which puts the state 31st among the 50 states and compared with highly connected states such as Rhode Island, which has 99.4% access. A map of broadband statistics from the National Telecommunications & Information Administration, which is a division of U.S. Commerce, shows how South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populated areas compare with access to high-speed Internet. Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson all had access rates above 90%.

The U.S. Commerce Department study used data download speeds greater than 25 megabits per second as a baseline to create a snapshot of availability across metro areas. Percentages shift when slower and higher data speeds are measured.

*Slope rating is a ratio ranging from 55 to 155 that represents the difficulty of a course for bogey golfers relative to the course rating. The higher the slope, the more difficult the course plays for bogey golfers. A slope rating of 113 is considered average. **Course rating is the approximate number of strokes it should take scratch golfers to complete a course. USGA=U.S. Golf Association. Because of space constraints, only the top-ranked courses are printed. For a full list of participating courses, visit www.scbiznews.com/data.

Recognizing the unsung

hile driving home after a 12-hour nursing shift, AnMed Health’s Starr Stancil saw a man lying on the sidewalk, bleeding. She stopped to help. The man lived. Meccia Wyatt, 10, suffered a traumatic brain injury. Now she collects toys for children in the hospital. Dr. Stuart Barnes put volunteering on hold only once in the past 30 years. He was undergoing cancer treatment.

heroes among us

Each year, GSA Business presents the Health Care Hero awards to honor courageous, selfless and benevolent people like Stancil, Wyatt and Dr. Barnes. The annual program honors men and women in health care who volunteer their time and go beyond the call of duty to help others. It honors the businesses that dedicate time and resources to enrich their communities. And it honors the furry com-

panions whose love helps people in dark times. Nominations for the Health Care Heroes awards are submitted from across the Upstate. An independent panel of judges reviews and scores each nomination separately without knowing the other judges’ tallies. GSA Business compiles all the scores to reveal the winner. Awards were presented in nine categories during an event in May:
