The recession has hit Orangeburg's downtown businesses hard. See this article by Orangeburg's The Times and Democrat in which Cal Bruner, our Commercial expert, discusses some renewed interest in downtown and the advantages of locating there.

CENTURY 21 The Moore Group purchased the Orangeburg operations of ERA Wilder Realty, Inc. in early January 2011. We gained nine Sales Associates, one staff member, and over 120 listings. "From a business model standpoint in terms of efficiency, having these agents join our firm will greatly increase our ability to give more exposure to properties and better service our clients," said Marion Moore, President of CENTURY 21 The Moore Group. Moore and Jeannine Kees, Vice President and Broker in Charge of CENTURY 21 The Moore Group, worked on the merger for several months, and the transition went smoothly. The St. Matthews Road Wilder office building will be leased or sold.
Sales Associates from ERA Wilder who joined the CENTURY 21 The Moore Group team were Manny Andre, Libby Bryant, George Corley, Regina Dukes, Tina Goddard, John Kneece, Janelle Mitchell, Sherry Newnam and Ann Young.
