Still Hopes Uses $39.3 Million In JEDA Financing for Expansion
West Columbia — Lexington County
The South Carolina Episcopal Home at Still Hopes is using a $39,325,000 tax-exempt bond issue through the South Carolina Jobs-Economic Development Authority (JEDA) for a major expansion at its West Columbia location.
The only Episcopal-sponsored continuing retirement care community in the Midlands plans to build a 48-bed skilled nursing facility and a 22-apartment community residential care facility. Still Hopes was established in 1977 and currently serves more than 400 residents.
