South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster as well as a number of other state and local officials will be on hand at 11 a.m. at the Anderson County Civic Center today to discuss details of a major economic development announcement for Anderson County.
The announcement is expected to offer details on the domestic manufacturing company which purchase the entire 240-acre Anderson County Technology and Manufacturing Center site in Sandy Springs earlier this year, with the promise of creating 1,000 jobs and a proposed $74 million investment facility.
Anderson County Council will give final vote Tuesday on a series of measures concerning the new business, including tax incentives and other matters related to the property.
The purchase also means Anderson County will have to seek a new site to develop another industrial park to continue to economic development activites in the county.
Anderson County is currently the leading county in South Carolina in international investment with 53 companies representing 18 countries.
