Charleston is a gem -- a city of rich history, solid business, romantic gentility and vibrant industry.  Its moss-covered trees and colonial streets intertwine with a quality of life only dreamed of by most people. 

Yet Charleston is a dynamic location for business executives to consider.  With a metropolitan area that is home to more than a half million people, Charleston offers a pro-business environment that features one of the nation's busiest and productive ports, and a tourism industry with an international reputation. 

Charleston is an incomparable place to live with a temperate climate and plenty of diversions for residents and visitors alike. It is home to top-notch restaurants and nationally-known events, such as Spoleto Festival USA and the Family Circle Cup. In Charleston, you can hear the world-class Charleston Symphony Orchestra, visit the S.C. Aquarium, watch the minor-league Charleston Riverdogs, walk through historic homes on a candlelight tour, or spend an idle afternoon on one of our great beaches or golf courses.
