A few decades ago, Bluffton’s greatest resource –our young people—were leaving town and not returning as professionals. Today, the story is different. Since launching The Don Ryan Center for Innovation in 2012 – the Town’s economic development department -- Bluffton has been helping entrepreneurs and young professionals put down roots here.

With access to mentors, business resources, and the guidance needed to start and grow companies, more and more young professionals are choosing Bluffton as the place to build their careers and their lives.
