Our historic region is moving forward.
What was once primarily a military town has evolved into a diverse employer base. Sophisticated manufacturing
operations, bioscience operations and technology companies. Key employers such as Blackbaud, BenefitFocus and
Robert Bosch have helped attract top talent and fuel new start-up companies.
As our population continues to grow,
so does the need for accounting professionals, physicians, attorneys, and other professional services.
Charleston's regional employment grew 13.5% between 1999 and 2004, far outpacing the national average of 4.3%.
New and expanding companies have invested over $5-billion in the region in that same time period.
