Rip Taggart and Tom Rodgers started their relationship in New Bern with a friendly bet on the 2010 Saints/Colts Super Bowl. Over the next year, their common interests brought them together on several projects, including the New Bern Preservation Foundation's successful Antique Show. The strong success of the Antique Show, and the opportunity to extend this unique approach to other parts of the New Bern community convinced Tom and Rip to launch 300Plus Partners at the end of February, 2011. Over the coming months, they will work with the African American Men Alliance on a project to renovate the historic Omega Center, and prepare to launch a new community-based video site.
