City and CEZ announce plans for Busby Street Community Resource and Training Complex

The Busby Street Community Resource & Training Complex is an 8+ acre site and will provide a perfect venue for business, training/educational and community residents to gather for meetings and activities.  The City prides itself on providing opportunities that empower, educate and train our residents, and connect our communities.  This building will provide a place for countless engagement opportunities by residents, entrepreneurs, workforce agencies, educational entities, the police and the public. It will be a place where our entire community can connect inside the facility or outside in open space or on the walking trail.

The City envisions a site where the facilities directly articulate community, safety, education, youth/senior engagement, training opportunity, and community and economic development opportunities and will help “bridge the gap” between business, community and police.

“This is not just to announce plans for the building, but this is to dedicate the mission of carrying out our responsibilities to those who for the most part who have lived very productive lives and who have made it possible for all of us to be here today and I think it is biblical for us to do what is necessary to give them pleasing, pleasant, and secure golden years,” said Congressman James E. Clyburn.

The City envisions a site that will house numerous business/resident/community-focused programs and services that address the many needs of the business, training and residential communities.

“I want to tell the wonderful people of this community of 29203, the folks from Guernsey Street, the folks of North Columbia and Farrow Road, that this is a great day on Busby Street,” said Mayor Steve Benjamin.
