MIDLANDS NEWSROOM

WELCOME of

If 2020 was the year the Columbia business community, along with the rest of the world, faced change and uncertainty, 2021 marked the year it demonstrated its resilience.

Fueled by determination, powered by customer loyalty and buoyed by pandemic relief loans, Midlands Melinda companies found their footing on the Waldrop long road back from the shutdown and radically altered business models Editor of the year before. While some did not reopen, many did, albeit with a different look or under restructured ownerships or with slightly curtailed hours.

Signs at local institutions lamented the ongoing labor shortage and called for workers and patience, but indications of hope also abounded. First Thursday returned to Main Street, with crowds once again mingling around the refurbished Boyd Plaza fountain at the Columbia Musuem of Art. Venerable establishments such as The Whig reopened their doors to grateful patrons who eagerly flocked to onceand again-familiar haunts. The central business district, oddly quiet for much of the previous 12 months, returned to life. College students trekked to class through the Statehouse grounds and residents and visitors alike checked out new restaurants and returned en masse to Soda City Market, once more a vibrant Saturday downtown centerpiece.

The Columbia Regional Business Report was privileged to

share stories of this resilience, of the small business owners who found a will and a way. We traced the path of Paycheck Protection Program assistance in our community, striving to put a face to the numbers, whether in the form of a Columbia entrepreneur who kept her pottery studio afloat or an Orangeburg civil rights icon who was able to continue to share snapshots of history. We examined how industries so critical to our region’s economic viability, from construction to hospitality, fared and oftentimes thrived, and we kept tabs on how our state’s workforce, while still facing challenges, began to recover.

And, with sincere joy and thanksgiving, we once again celebrated our business and community leaders in person, honoring 2021’s remarkable Icons and Phenoms, Roaring Twenties and Women of Influence recipients in person, in packed ballrooms and with full hearts. Reflected in the faces of the honorees, the flowers on the tables and the buzz in the air was a feeling hard to name, relief mixed with gratitude, leavened by a hard-won appreciation for where we had been and how far we had come.

To be sure, the road ahead will have its own obstacles, but the last year taught us just how strong we can be in the face of those things. We thank the readers who trusted us with those stories, and we look forward with tangible hope to continuing to chronicle the journey, next year and beyond.

Sincerely, Melinda Waldrop Columbia Regional Business Report editor

ABOUT THE COVER: The HOPE sign, sponsored by downtown economic development organization City Center Partnership, has been a concrete image of optimism in Columbia’s central business district since the fall of 2020. The sign, which periodically changes Main Street locations, is pictured in front of a mural by Columbia artist Ija Charles at 1401 Main St. The mural pays homage to the Washington Street corridor known as Columbia’s Black Wall Street.

MARKET FACTS

Accounting for S.C.’s finances South Carolina’s annual budget for the 2021-2022 fiscal year is more than $31 billion. The money comes from several revenue streams.

Emergency funds South Carolina’s constitution requires the state to maintain a rainy day fund for unexpected circumstances.

$458,961,225

By law, the General Reserve Fund must be 5% of the General Fund revenues and may be used to cover shorfalls from general funds receipts. For the current fiscal year, that amounts to nearly $460 million.

$183,584,490

The Capital Reserve Fund has to equal 2% of the General Fund.

The money must be used to replenish the General Reserve Fund if necessary. However, if that money isn’t needed, then the General Assembly can appropriate that money for one-time expenditures, such as capital improvement projects.

What about schools?

Education is one of the largest expenditures for state government. For the current fiscal year, more than $4.3 billion, or 41% of the General Fund, has been allocated for educational expenses in South Carolina.

$3,545,719,579

K-12 education receives more than $3.5 billion from the General Fund, along with $987,285,024 from the state’s 1% sales tax, which is designated for education.

$800,452,070

Colleges and universities, on the other hand, receive less than $1 billion from the state General Fund, not counting lottery money.

$597,200,000

Nearly $600 million from the S.C. Education Lottery has been allocated by the state, including $68.6 million for K-12, $528.5 million for higher education, and $100,000 for other agencies.

S.C. EXPORTS HEAVILY RELIANT ON BOEING Since Boeing’s arrival in S.C., civilian aircraft, engines and parts have become the state’s number one export. Boeing’s successes and challenges have a direct — and significant — impact on S.C. exports. Boeing has had multiple challenges recently including the temporary suspension of 737 MAX production after two crashes, the shutting of plants during the pandemic and an airline industry that was reeling as the pandemic took hold. Recently, Boeing decided to move all 787 production to its North Charleston site, which is likely to help their numbers rebound and likely increase S.C. total exports.
