What better way to showcase the #CentralSCRegion on Day 2 of our FAM Tour than by visiting some of the area’s most impactful sites!
We kicked off the morning at the Koger Center, where our consultants had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with our communities, followed by an exclusive backstage tour with Nate Terracio. Next, we headed to the McNAIR Center for Aerospace Innovation and Research to witness the impressive, cutting-edge projects USC engineering students are leading guided by Emily Savage and Joshua Widawsky. The day continued with a discussion on workforce solutions led by Brad Neese, Walt Tobin, Akil Ross, Stephen Cutler, and Carter Price, highlighting how our region is addressing workforce needs.
After enjoying The Gourmet Shop’s famous chicken salad, we hurried over for a behind-the-scenes look at the UPS Air Hub. Columbia Metropolitan Airport hosted our infrastructure tour and panel, featuring insights from Bonnie Ammons, Travis Frank, Kearney Gregory, Frank Murray, and Kellen Riley.
To conclude this exciting day, we embarked on a Sunset Cruise providing our private sector investors the opportunity to network, mingle, and share their personal experiences as business leaders in the Central SC region.
