Key Industry

Automotive

Colleton County is an ideal location for automotive companies due to its strategic placement along the I-95 corridor, low operating costs, and close proximity to major ports and regional automotive hubs. It also provides a ready pipeline of skilled talent drawing from two major labor sheds and has an available megasite suitable for major OEM investment.

Workforce & Training

A Production-Ready Labor Pool

Colleton’s workforce is already automotive-adjacent — production and manufacturing experience built up commuting to plants in neighboring counties. A local employer converts that commute into a career, backed by regional training infrastructure built for exactly this kind of ramp-up.

WHY NOW

Affordability

Automotive suppliers are being priced out of the Upstate corridor and squeezed by EV retooling costs. The answer is moving to the part of it that’s still affordable.
