  • South Central Industries' partnership with Impact City has proven to be extremely beneficial as SCI strives to reach 100% sustainability.  Impact City is a major force in crafting our social enterprise model into a business that intentionally integrates social impact as a non-negotiable component. The focus, business acumen, and direction provided by Impact City has been priceless as SCI ventures to create financial independence.
