WHAT IS THE SIGN OF A GOOD DECISION? SM

It’s feeling protected, no matter what the economic environment.

Economic downturns happen. But you can feel protected when they do. MassMutual’s whole life insurance helps secure your family’s financial future and also acts as a solid asset, guaranteed to steadily build its value even through turbulent times. And should life ever take an unexpected turn, policyholders can borrow from the cash value they’ve built to protect their home, family or business.1 As owners of our company,2 our participating policyholders can feel confident knowing they are our top priority and that our financial strength ratings are among the highest of any company in any industry.3 To take a step toward your financial security, visit MassMutual. com or contact a local financial professional.

t is my pleasure to present to you the Charleston Regional Business Journal’s 2011 Book of Lists. This is now our 14th year publishing the Book of Lists. It continues to be a worthwhile endeavor to gather listings that will help you build your business as well as find the services you need to enhance your operations. Our researchers have put untold hours into the compilation of the lists, and I want to remind you that we have specialized software to enable the collection of data and to provide a more robust interface for you to use online. Under the “Resources” tab at www.charlestonbusiness.com, you will find the electronic version of our Lists & Leads. In addition to being able to download lists as Excel spreadsheets, you are able to view lists in PDF format and use a Google Maps search option. Since we’ve grown to have a statewide presence, you will also have access to Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg- Anderson and statewide information online. And remember, there are editions of the Book of Lists from GSA Business and the Columbia Regional Business Report in print. We also provide online access to lists gathered by our business publishing colleagues around the nation; and through our site, you can download lists from these other markets. As the book grows, navigation among lists and sections becomes trickier, and we have Grady Johnson continued to tweak the color coding and tabs to make things easier to find. Each section has its own color tab, and section titles are at the top of each page and within the tabs in the margins. CEO and I again want to express how gratifying it is to have the continued support of our sponsors Group Publisher and advertisers, most of whom have been with us for years. Our sponsors and advertisers play a vital role in enabling us to continue to devote an increasing amount of resources to improving this publication; and you can learn about these forward-thinking companies on our About Our Sponsors page. Our title sponsors, MassMutual, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and Trident Health System, deserve a round of applause for having the vision to help provide this vital resource to the business community. I also want to extend a special thank-you to MassMutual, who has supported the Business Journal and sponsored the Book of Lists since their inceptions. Thank you for believing in us. On behalf of the entire staff, I hope the 2011 Book of Lists continues to be a useful and essential part of your business, and we welcome your feedback on ways we can improve it for 2012.

and gets around in a low-speed electric vehicle made by CT&T and sold in the Lowcountry at Current Electric Vehicles. “It’s a very practical second vehicle,” said Cheroff, who works at the Current Electric Vehicles dealership on Daniel Island. “Compared to gasoline, which is nearly $3 per gallon, you can power one of these vehicles for $7-$10 per month. And you can just plug it right into a household outlet. “Studies show that outside of your daily commute to and from work, most

people stay within a 10-mile radius of their home to go out to eat, run errands or participate in social activities,” Cheroff added.

Zero oil, no emissions

Current Electric Vehicles opened its first showroom on Daniel Island this spring. Called a “living lab,” patrons are encouraged to take the CT&T vehicles it stocks for a test drive. The low-speed vehicles, LSV for short, can travel a maximum of 25 mph on any road in South Carolina with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. Current Electric Vehicle’s bright showroom on Sportsman’s Island Drive features two models: the e ZONE, which is enclosed and can run up to 80 miles on a single charge; and the c ZONE line, which consists of a variety open-air off-road and street-legal vehicles. The e ZONE and c ZONE are both available in a variety of styles and colors. “ZONE stands for zero oil, no emissions,” said Stuart Fetter of Current Electric Vehicles. “These vehicles are powered by a lithium polymer battery that can be fully charged in four hours using a standard 110-volt plug.” The vehicles also meet National High-

way Traffic Safety Administration regulations and therefore employ numerous safety features that Fetter said makes them stand out from their competition. “This is not a souped-up golf cart,” Fetter said. “This is a low-speed vehicle with a car body, disc brakes and MacPherson struts.” Safety features include seat belts, an unbreakable windshield, turn signals, headlights, front and rear shock-absorbing bumpers. And the e ZONE, which features a driver side airbag option, is the only vehicle in its class that passes international crash test standards for both front and side impacts.

Creative transportation and technology

James Parks, vice president of Koreanbased CT&T, said when the company set out to establish a U.S. presence, it quickly set its sights on South Carolina. After taking 18-months to shop around, CT&T, which stands for See VEHICLES, Page 13

he Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy and Charleston County are joining forces to help landowners with properties 30 acres or smaller keep them green forever. The new $1.2 million initiative, part of the Charleston County Greenbelt Program, will allow more property owners countywide to sell or place conservation easements restricting development on their land. The joint effort also means a countywide presence for the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy, a nonprofit organization created by the town of Mount Pleasant in 2002.

Need for the new initiative

The Charleston County Greenbelt Program uses a portion of revenue from the county’s half-cent sales tax to preserve open space. County officials expect a total of $95 million to be generated for land preservation over the 25-year life of the sales tax, which voters endorsed in 2004. The county borrowed $60 million of that total in 2007 to get started with See CONSERVANCY, Page 12
