Grapevine – December 21, 2018
Programs: Sandy Hamilton, Executive Director of the Berkeley County Development Authority, was our speaker. She shared information about available properties that she is promoting for development. Most inquiries she receives are for light/medium manufacturing space. We had a discussion on the Rockwool plant in Jefferson County and the turmoil surrounding that project. She also indicated that they are hosting a community calendar on their website. If you would like to check it to coordinate events and/or add something to it, it is available to you at www.developmentauthority.com.
