The Smart Economic Development Fund of South Carolina is a minority-owned fund made up of individuals who have a stake in the communities that they serve because they live in those communities. With a licensed general contractor, builder, financial expert and opportunity zone fund expert that sit on their board, they not only work with local business owners, HBCUs and community leaders to create their own projects, they also build them, reducing costs and maximizing profits for investors. SDEF’s goals are tripartite: Job creation, affordable housing, and increased property value for the residents of the communities.
