Why Colleton County
Four Reasons Companies Choose Colleton County
We’ve built the infrastructure, done the homework, and streamlined the process — so you move from decision to production faster than anywhere in the region.
& Operational Efficiency
Contact CCEA — same-day response, site tour with the leadership team, guided, hands-on project management, experience service faster than any neighboring market
Site and building costs in Colleton County are significantly more competitive than neighboring Charleston, Beaufort, and Savannah markets — without sacrificing infrastructure or connectivity.
Halfway between Charleston and Savannah on I-95 — with five county exits, Palmetto Railways rail service, two international airports, and two major ports within reach.
Partnership & Service
CCEA doesn’t hand you off at the announcement. They stay with you as you grow, reinvest, and hire — a partner for the life of your operation.
What the CCEA Brings to Every Partnership
Sites & Buildings
From the 1,481-acre Colleton Mega Site to existing industrial buildings, our portfolio of shovel-ready properties comes with completed due diligence — Phase I Environmental, wetlands delineation, geotechnical surveys, and more. No surprises.
Incentives & Permitting
We walk every company through the full landscape of state and local incentives — then actively expedite the permitting process. Our single goal: get you from capital expenditure to generating revenue as fast as possible.
Workforce & Long-Term Support
Through the Technical College of the Lowcountry, SC PowerTeam, and a network of regional allies, we don’t just help you land — we help you grow. Service after the sale is our standard, not a bonus.
“The single most important message: Colleton County is open for business — and we will embrace your growth opportunities with every resource we have.”
— Colleton County Economic Alliance

Our Story
The Right Market. At the Right Time.
For too long, companies expanding in the Southeast have faced a familiar problem: the markets they want are congested, expensive, and slow to permit. Meanwhile, a better option sits just off I-95 — between Charleston and Savannah — with large-scale sites ready to develop, costs that protect margins, and a team that won’t make you wait.
The Colleton County Economic Alliance exists to change that equation. We’ve spent years building industrial infrastructure, completing environmental and geotechnical due diligence, and aligning workforce partnerships — so that the moment you’re ready to move, Colleton County is already ahead of schedule.
Our Commitment
Easy Access. Lower Cost. Faster Results.
Colleton County provides tremendous value to every company we partner with — through intermodal access to major markets, cost-competitive site acquisition, and genuinely business-friendly development practices. We’re not just open for business. We’re ready for yours.
