Charleston, SC Economic Development


The Charleston Regional Development Alliance

 is a professional economic development organization representing Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties in South Carolina.

We have two main areas of focus. First, we promote the Charleston region worldwide as a top location for business investment. We also work directly with companies to assist them with competitive location or expansion projects and the creation of new, quality jobs. Since our inception in 1995, we've helped more than 200 companies find a new home or expand their operations here.

The Alliance is organized as a public/private, not-for-profit corporation funded jointly by the three county governments and nearly 130 area businesses. In addition to these important economic development partners, we collaborate closely with other entities throughout the Charleston area to ensure a globally competitive, sustainable regional economy.
