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 the region. Essential to this effort is the Government Relations team’s focus on advancing legislation that aligns with key priorities: attainable housing, education, transit, and childcare.

By advocating for policies that address these critical areas, the Chamber aims 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," stated a representative from the Chamber. The organization emphasizes that together they are shaping the legacy for 2040.

The legislative wins achieved thus far have been focused on education. Further updates on People First Future-Ready Education legislation will be provided as progress continues.
