Matt Kennell, President and CEO, City Center Partnership, LLC in Columbia, SC.

Downtown Columbia has seen $300M worth of private investment over the past ten years. 2011 brought the arrival of the Mast General Store, the Cowboy Brazilian Steakhouse, the Tapps Arts Center, to name just of few. The Nickelodeon will be opening the dorrs to its new location on Main Street in 2012. Is downtown Columbia a retail and cultural destination? Matt Kennel reflects on the 10 year anniversary of City Center Partnership and looks forward to the next ten years.
