With a $2.7M federal grant, business ‘opportunity center’ coming to North Charleston
Buoyed by a $2.7 million federal grant, a former furniture warehouse in North Charleston will soon be upfitted as The Opportunity Center — a headquarters for local nonprofits, a business incubator and a career training facility all under one roof.
Three Charleston-area organizations have partnered to set up the facility: financial training center Increasing H.O.P.E., the Center for Heirs Property Preservation and the S.C. Association for Community Economic Development.
All three will move their offices to the property and be co-owners of the building, a venture which they hope will make their groups more financially sustainable.
