Carolina Fish Market: Leading the Way in Sustainable Seafood Practices and Farmed Fish Delicacies

Jun 5, 2023 | Business

 Nestled in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, the Carolina Fish Market has earned a well-deserved reputation for offering not only the freshest and sustainably sourced seafood but also for its commitment to combating the pressing issue of overfishing. In a world grappling with the dwindling populations of wild fish, this market has become a beacon of hope by advocating responsible seafood choices and championing the concept of farmed fish as a viable solution.

At the forefront of their mission is a strong belief in educating customers about the benefits of responsibly farmed fish. Just as people embrace farm-raised meat, fruits, and vegetables on a daily basis, the Carolina Fish Market strives to dispel misconceptions and encourage consumers to consider responsibly farmed seafood as an alternative that ensures a stable supply while preserving the delicate balance of our oceans’ ecosystems.

One of the key sources for the market’s farmed fish is the picturesque Faroe Islands, located in the North Atlantic. Renowned for their unwavering commitment to sustainable aquaculture practices, the Faroe Islands have set an example for the world. It is here that the Carolina Fish Market finds its exceptional supply of salmon, a jewel of the seas.

What sets the Faroe Islands apart is their dedication to stringent regulations that prioritize the well-being of the fish and the preservation of the surrounding environment. Low-density farms provide ample space for the salmon to swim, resulting in fish with firm flesh and unparalleled flavor. To ensure the utmost quality, the Carolina Fish Market goes the extra mile by flying in fresh salmon daily, delivering sushi-grade freshness that tantalizes even the most discerning palates.

Beyond the delectable taste and quality, the market’s choice to partner with responsible fish farms aligns with their commitment to supporting local economies and reducing their carbon footprint. By selecting farmed fish from trusted sources like the Faroe Islands, the market contributes to the prosperity of coastal communities while minimizing the environmental impact associated with long-distance fishing operations.

The Carolina Fish Market’s efforts to promote sustainable seafood practices and responsible choices extend far beyond their local reach. Through their dedication to sourcing responsibly and delivering the finest, freshest fish, they serve as an example for the entire industry, urging consumers to make informed and sustainable seafood choices.

In a world where the oceans face unprecedented challenges, the Carolina Fish Market in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a shining example of how businesses can champion sustainability and make a positive impact. By embracing the exceptional qualities of farmed fish, such as the renowned salmon from the Faroe Islands, this market not only satisfies appetites but also helps preserve our oceans for future generations. So, the next time you visit the Carolina Fish Market, rest assured that you are indulging in a delicious meal while supporting a cause that goes far beyond the plate.

South Carolina welcomes “new approach” to affordable housing with The Sullivan community

May 5, 2023 | Books, Business

Affordable Living Now Available At The Sullivan

Affordable Living Now Available At The Sullivan

GREENVILLE, S.C. – May 3, 2023 – PRLog — Recognizing the critical need for high-quality, affordable housing, three developers have pooled talents to develop one of the largest new affordable housing projects to come online in 2023 in South Carolina as they open The Sullivan apartment community in Greenville County.

“This is a challenging time to deliver a real estate project, as the current interest rate environment and post-Covid supply chain issues impact every project,” said Holly Douglas, a principal on the development team. “There are always significant financial considerations in such projects to deal with.”

“For us, this is more than an apartment community. We have a passion and mission to address the critical need for high-quality, affordable housing that faces our state. The Sullivan is a critical step forward.”

The Sullivan is a combined effort of Schaumber Development, Holliday Development and Douglas Development, three noted Upstate organizations that have cumulatively developed, rehabbed or repositioned communities across the Southeast totaling over 10,000 units.

The Sullivan, which offers floor plans with 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom options, is designed for households making below 60% of area median income (AMI), or around $51,000.  Upstate leaders have estimated the need for over 10,000 units of affordable housing to meet demand.

That need – and a passion to do more as well as do good – is the genesis behind The Sullivan.

“Throughout our careers, we’ve embraced the basic idea that, no matter how much money you earn, having a quality home to live in is critical to one’s self-worth and respect,” said Drew Schaumber, principal with Schaumber Development.  “We take pride in the end product. We provide high quality construction, efficient appliances, attractive finishes, and community amenities to make residents’ lives enjoyable. That’s what folks will find at The Sullivan.”

The community is striking for its attractiveness, amenities, quality, and convenience, along with an extraordinary level of privacy, peacefulness and security.

The 180-apartment community is housed in five buildings near Travelers Rest at 6001 Jacks Lookout Road.  Just minutes from Berea Elementary, Middle and High Schools and the Berea Community Center, shopping, restaurants, and healthcare are nearby while downtown Greenville is a 13-minute drive.  The community is located on a bus route, enhancing accessibility.

The Sullivan’s amenities include resident clubhouse with coffee bar, business center, onsite laundry facilities and fitness center, a resort-style pool, sundeck, playground, and picnic area.

Units range from 900 to 1600 square feet, and feature high ceilings, hardwood-style flooring and carpeting, walk-in closets, plus quality cabinets and countertops. Apartments feature energy efficient appliances, windows and HVAC systems, and lighting, ceiling fans, washer-dryer hookups and prewiring for cable and internet are included.

Affordable housing need not look or feel like many people expect affordable housing to look, adds Ms. Douglas.  “We continuously challenge stereotypes about how affordable housing looks and feels like,” she said.

Leasing at The Sullivan has begun, with the first residents arriving in early May. “Our mission is always to create vibrant, high-quality affordable housing for residents and to enhance the communities we build in. We believe The Sullivan will be a point of pride for the Upstate for years to come,” added Mr. Schaumber.

The project was financed through investment from RBC Capital Markets, JP Morgan Chase, Stifel, Prudential and Community Works, as well as 4% bonds and low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) administered by the South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority. Progress Carolina is general contractor while Progress Design served as architects.

Interested parties can contact the NHE leasing office at 864-987-8133 or by e-mail at sullivan@nhe-inc.com.

North Carolina Medicare and Health Insurance Agency Promotes Its First and “Youngest” Broker to the Position of Managing Partner

Mar 21, 2023 | Business

 The Health Insurance Shoppe of Greensboro recently announced that it has promoted Jeffrey Shell as its first ever, and “youngest” broker to the position of Managing Partner.

For over a decade, Chuck and Martha Uhlir have owned and operated the local health insurance agency whose brokers specialize in providing help and guidance for individuals seeking assistance with individual Medicare and health insurance related products.

According to Chuck, “Jeff has been with the ‘Shoppe’ a little over five years and has played a vital role in its explosive growth. Jeff’s success and leadership stems from his extensive business background, wealth of experience, and a drive to succeed; but most importantly, his genuine ability to make a positive difference in other people’s lives.”

Jeff’s pathway to Managing Partner is a circuitous one that first began at the end of a successful career as co-owner of Southeast Medical, LLC (surgical device marketing and sales), then a life-threatening intensive care isolation stay from double pneumonia, an entrepreneurial upstart venture with senior “stay-at-home” safety technologies, and finally to independent broker.

Jeff promotes business development through public speaking, facilitating educational programs at senior events and facilities, and building relationships with financial, accounting and other business professionals. He meets with clients daily and is an integral part of the marketing, communications, and operational side of the agency.

“After extensive business career travel, I wanted to find a dynamic local company where I could establish a leadership position and make a meaningful difference in my local community,” remarks Jeff. “The Health Insurance Shoppe provided the opportunity to use my gifts, talents, and experiences, to build my own book of business and enhance the agency’s growth. I think its been a win-win situation!”

For further information about The Health Insurance Shoppe and how they provide help and guidance with Medicare and health insurance related products, please visit www.HealthShoppeNC.com or call 336-763-0775.
