742 NORTH is a coworking and private office community in Rock Hill, dedicated to fostering growth and community for small business owners. They offer shared space, private offices, event space, and a podcast studio. As a bonus, they are also the home of Forte Legato Coffee! After opening in early 2020 and surviving COVID, this group is proud to say they were able to provide a safe space for newly-remote workers while also providing food truck and trivia nights to help build a sense of community during uncertain times.
This growing business has just opened a new location located at 417 East Black Street in Downtown Rock Hill, giving their members access to shared spaces and benefits at both locations. Ava Jopson, Project Manager for 742 North, adds that “there's no extra charge for using the services either - once you are in as a member, you're part of the family and we don't use points systems or charge extra for use of amenities. We are also currently working on a flex space project that will include both warehouse and office space. The first units will be delivered in late 2023 or early 2024 and include units that are for sale and also some that are for lease." Eva noted that their “agreements are month-to-month, and it's easy to upgrade office sizes (or downgrade if there is a slow down). (All amenities are) included with your monthly rate - utilities, furniture, podcast studio access, and meeting spaces. We're an ideal location for new businesses that need the flexibility and we're happy to be there for that part of their growth, even if they outgrow us at some point.”
742 North is new to the chamber and, as a recent host of our Morning Mingle networking event, they hope that being a part of the Chamber allows them to achieve their mission of helping York County small businesses be successful. Exclusive to chamber members, 742 North is currently offering 15% off for an entire year at either of their locations!

Tonight’s Welcome Reception was one for the books. Many hugs, handshakes and high-fives were given to Winthrop University’s President Edward Serna during tonight’s program. We also had the opportunity to highlight our higher education leaders from York Technical College and Clinton College! Special thanks to York Technical College President Dr. Stacey Moore and Clinton College President Dr. Lester McCorn!

We hate to toot our own hour horn but York County is one of the very few areas in South Carolina that has a university, technical college and HBCU (Historically Black College and Universities) in the area. #connections #workforcedevelopment #ycrc

SnipWell Spay Neuter & Wellness Clinic

September 7, 2022

SnipWell Spray Neuter & Wellness Clinic is a veterinary practice in spay/neuter surgery and wellness medicine with an experienced and compassionate staff. Their vision is to partner with the community to decrease the shelter intake of homeless and at-risk animals through spay/neuter and wellness care by offering high quality services at a reduced cost. Founder/CEO Dr. Stephanie Lee says "I transitioned to high quality, high volume spay/neuter surgery and medicine in 2007 wishing to bring these desperately needed services to the Fort Mill, SC area". 
Here's additional information shared by SnipWell:
While veterinary clinics abound, SnipWell is unique in that we provide low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter surgery, as well as wellness care, to the pets of residents in Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and the surrounding areas. We also provide services to area animal controls, community cat advocates and other animal rescue groups. We are a high-volume, high-quality clinic with our focus on serving pet owners in the most economical way possible, thus reducing the number of pets turned into animal control because the owner cannot afford veterinary care.

 

Statistics vary, but the single most important thing we can do to save cats and dogs is to spay or neuter them, making a significant difference in the suffering that pet overpopulation causes. Just one unaltered female dog and her offspring can produce more than 65,000 puppies in only six years. Unbelievably, in seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce 350,000 kittens or more.

 

It is our vision to decrease shelter intake of homeless and at-risk animals through spay/neuter and wellness care at a reduced cost. On an average day, our clinic performs 32 spay/neuter surgeries. Since we opened in late 2018, we have spayed or neutered 17,709 animals, and served 8860 animals through our wellness clinics including administering 14,962 rabies vaccines (as of June 2022). To learn more about us and services we provide, please check out our website https://www.snipwell.org, and you can follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Lastly, we heard from Johnathan Nazeer, the CEO/Founder of Victory Gardens International, who spoke on the value of supporting the enrichment of Southside Rock Hill and a few related efforts that have been successful such as easy access to fresh produce and other basic needs.
