June 25, 2015
NORTH CHARLESTON, SC – “The Charleston Regional Development Alliance (CRDA) Board of Directors unanimously supports Governor Nikki Haley, numerous elected and business leaders, and South Carolina’s citizens in calling for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the Statehouse grounds. Removing the flag and placing it in the Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum is an important first step towards building lasting peace, unity, and healing.
The Charleston region is a global destination for trade, talent and tourism. Our community’s economic growth and success is the result of hard work, collaboration and cooperation of many working towards a common goal. Division will negatively affect our ability to compete and curtail future economic opportunities. The world is taking notice of Charleston and South Carolina. The steps our leaders take today will impact lives for generations to come.”
