Despite the cold weather, the dedication of Seven Farms Village on December 8, 2010 was standing room only. Attendees and speakers included representatives from the City of Charleston, The Richman Group, The South Carolina State Housing Authority, Bank of America, future residents and many others that were instrumental to the success of the development. An open house was held immediately following the dedication ceremony during which guests toured both the units and common areas while enjoying hot cider and other refreshments. Professionals were on hand to explain the green features of the development including energy and water efficiency, the use of recycled and sustainable materials, indoor air quality, on – site and area amenities and other aspects of the LEED Gold - certified development. Several members of the press were in attendance to cover the event.
