Clyburn announced today that the University of South Carolina in Columbia will receive a $1,974,000 grant for the construction of a new Entrepreneurship and Technology Commercialization Center in Columbia, S.C.\n\nThe U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded this grant which is anticipated to create 698 jobs in the midlands area and provide $11.9 million in private investment to the community. When built, this center will include a range of resources to support early stage business ventures and is the cornerstone of a new technology corridor, the USC Innovista Innovation District. It will also serve as the regional hub for USC\u2019s entrepreneurship, incubation, and acceleration programs.\n\n\u201cI am thrilled that the University of South Carolina will receive this investment from the EDA in order to develop a new entrepreneurship and technology center in Columbia,\u201d Congressman Clyburn said. \u201cThis grant will allow the University and the City of Columbia to give budding businesspeople the support they need to succeed in today\u2019s economy.
