NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — After breaking ground over a year and a half ago, a center aimed at helping Lowcountry residents with their finances finally had its grand opening on Thursday.

The Opportunity Center is one of the first facilities of its kind and will give a chance for financial development by creating what officials call an “entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

The center houses four nonprofits, all of which specialize in different areas of financial training and services. All of the services focus on helping create wealth and economic prosperity in low-income and minority communities.

The CEO of one of the nonprofits, Bernie Mazyck, told ABC News 4 he believes this center is a unique “one-stop shop” that will help change the economic landscape in the Lowcountry and beyond.
