What is a Regional Center

A Regional Center (RC) is an entity that has been approved as such by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that serves as a conduit for individual foreign investment dollars to be used for economic development purposes, the creation of jobs, and improved regional productivity in a specific geographic area while enabling those foreign investors with certain incentives as federally provided.
