The Saluda Grade Trail

is on the way 

After four years of work, PAL and partners have purchased the historic Saluda Grade rail line for conversion into a future trail. With state funding from the state of South Carolina and the SC Conservation Bank, the project is now moving into design and engineering. PAL will lead the South Carolina portion of this project.

PAL Food Hub

Eat Fresh & Local

Establishing a food hub is one way to strengthen our local food system by offering more locally grown food to more people in Spartanburg. The hub provides a centralized process where buyers can purchase local food from different farmers. For farmers, it provides an additional market and takes the burden of marketing off of them.

How It Works

Pal Food Hub

Subaru Bike Park

First of its kind in the Upstate

A community collaboration, the park includes bicycle features like the wood and dirt flow trails which take mountain bikers on a roller coaster experience with little pedaling and braking necessary. The park was made to suit all skill levels, built with progressive features so you can start small and advance at your own pace. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.
