Chapel is launching a new opportunity through Vicinity Capital* that harnesses the history of Poe Mill to create a vibrant ecosystem with a ground-up (versus top-down) approach. Chapel started with the question: “What type of services do you need in the neighborhood?”

“That's just a different mentality that we as a community - going through the things and issues that we're going through and looking for the partnerships we're looking for - that's what we want to hear."
- Kwadjo Campbell, President of Poe Mill, Neighborhood Association

There will be flexible options for people to utilize the space: companies, entrepreneurs, and locals. Chapel seeks to incorporate a social aspect with restaurants and jobs for people living in the area.

"We're excited to have places people can gather, hopefully markets and things like that where people in the neighborhood could have jobs. It could be a real work, live, play community."
- Jerry Blassingame, Founder/Developer at Soteria CDC

“Matt’s goal with Chapel is to work alongside the community and be a good neighbor. He wants to honor the neighborhood’s history and actively include the current residents. We are excited to host his offering through Vicinity.”
- John Crawford, Co-founder, Vicinity Capital

Poe Mill and the surrounding areas are a unique part of Greenville; Chapel is hoping to create momentum for place-making in historically neglected neighborhoods.

This investment fuels the momentum you want to see in Greenville; it provides a well-rounded approach where investing is about more than just potential financial returns.
