Goose Creek diving head first into economic development
Goose Creek is South Carolina’s eighth-most populous city, but Mayor Gregory Habib wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t realize it.
“You know what your perception of the city of Goose Creek was, what it had been or how it was shaped,” Habib said last month at a Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce event. “And that doesn’t meet the reality of what we are.”
Habib, who was elected last spring to succeed 40-year veteran Mayor Michael Heitzler, has set his sights on changing that perception into one of a city that’s open for business.
