COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION: THE NEW AMERICAN CITY, THE NOISETTE COMPANY AND NORTH CHARLESTON, SC:
The Foundation is housed at The Navy Yard at Noisette, in the City of North Charleston, SC. The Noisette Company, as the master developer for The Navy Yard, is responsible for all infrastructure development, overall marketing, and the economic strategies for the area, a 340 acre city-within-a-city. Targeted for integrated restoration as a sustainable community, the community The New American City is modeled on the belief that cities must be equally responsive to social needs, environmental responsibility and economic vitality (the philosophy embodied by people, planet, and prosperity).
In a unique public-private partnership, the Noisette Company and the City of North Charleston teamed up in the late 1990s to revitalize the Noisette area. In exchange for the right to purchase 340 acres of old Navy base property at the city-appraised fair market value – a small portion of the land promised to the city after the Navy’s departure – Noisette Company principal John Knott agreed to launch a master planning effort on an unprecedented scale.
