NEWS + NOTES

Just five days left for Christmas!!! Take a few days off and enjoy the family. In 2010, Charleston's knowledge based sector has once again fared better this year than the general economy - reason alone to celebrate. On behalf of Amy Lawrence and myself at the Charleston Digital Corridor, I would like to wish you Happy Holidays and Prosperous New Year.

Flagship II

What do you do when the Flagship is full? Build another one. At 13,700 square feet, the Flagships' bigger brother is FS2. This facility, adjacent to the Flagship, will open for fast-growing, knowledge-based companies in April 2011. It is a smart building in many ways: 50mb data connections on a fiber network + adaptive re-use in highly desirable downtown Charleston +indoor bike storage + showers + dedicated exclusively for knowledge-based companies. All brought to you by the City of Charleston. If you are interested in learning more about FS2, please contact me.

Charleston Life Sciences

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has adopted a new five year strategic plan. As a partner with MUSC in the development of Charleston's life sciences community, we have refreshed our Charleston Life Sciences brand and updated the website. I look forward to assisting the University and their other partners with the implementation of the new plan and ask you to contact me if you are also interested in participating.
