          We got a sneak peek at the new United Community Headquarters, and we can safely say it’s cool. You know it’s a big deal when Gov. Henry McMaster is there.

          Let’s break it down by numbers:
          • $65,000,000 | That’s the total investment put into this property.
          • 300+ | That’s how many employees United Community Headquarters has.
          • 118,000 | That’s the square footage of the space.
          • 350+ | That’s how many parking spaces are in the parking deck and the lot across the street.
          • 4.2 | That’s how many acres the property sits on.
          Additionally, the new spot has a coffee bar called “River Room,” quiet zones for collaboration, and 29 conference rooms.

          Take a look at our behind-the-scenes footage. You can bank on it.

          I was only able to go to one euphoria Spring Fest event, but it was a blast. I went to Restaurant 17 in Travelers Rest for Sip Into Spring. Chefs Hadyn Shaak and Michael Sibert prepared some delicious bites, and I got to try some great wine + live music from the Synergy Twins. Shout out to @gvlgroupies for being my impromptu date.
