2025-2026
Annual Report

Transitional. Transformational. That’s how the Colleton County Economic Alliance describes fiscal year 2025-2026, a year defined by bold investment, unprecedented private-sector support, and real momentum on the ground. With more than $6 million in grant funding secured for site development and $120,000+ raised in our first-ever private fundraising campaign, we’re building the foundation for Colleton’s future today.
