As part of the People First initiative, the Charleston Metro Chamber is committed to improving economic mobility and the quality of life for everyone in our region. Essential to this effort is our Government Relations team’s focus on advancing legislation that aligns with our key priorities: attainable housing, education, transit and childcare.

By advocating for policies that address these critical areas, we aim to create a more equitable and prosperous Charleston region. We are optimistic and excited about the opportunity to collaborate with our region’s elected officials to make meaningful progress that benefits all who call Charleston home. Together, we are shaping the legacy for 2040.
