Our Story

Founded in October 2013 by Richard and Mary Allen, Citizens Park Office & Conference Center (CPOCC) is located in Aiken and serves the entire Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). The company offers a full range of business services, Temporary office space, conference/training rooms, and banquet halls.  CPOCC provides best in class services including security, wireless internet, sound proofing, and a dedicated receptionist.

The company was formed out of a need for in-home businesses to have a comfortable, private executive setting without the cost of maintaining a permanent office.  Citizens Park founders saw that small businesses were holding meetings at local restaurants and recognized a need for affordable, on demand professional office and meeting facilities.  The founders also discoverd rental facilities to host mid-size social events was an underserved market in the CSRA and opened after business hours to meet this need.  The company expanded into the special event/s market when they constructed a permanent tent behind their business office large enough to accomodate 200 people. This allowed them to offer services that other competitor venues cannot. CPOCC is a "small, service disabled veteran owned business focused on delivering service to our clients with integrity, dignity, and respect". (Richard and Mary Allen)
