Life Sciences
Colleton County is an ideal location for life science companies due to its strategic coastal placement near major international ports, direct Interstate 95 access, and a business-friendly environment that offers low operational costs and tailored incentive programs.Colleton County also offers the appropriate zoning to accommodate processing of chemical compounds with several companies currently operating in established industrial areas.
A Production Workforce for Life Sciences
Life sciences manufacturers can hire from a workforce that already has production experience, and Floralife already manufactures floral chemicals in the county. Training partners can prepare new hires for pharmaceutical and medical device production.
Training partners: Technical College of the Lowcountry · SC PowerTeam · ReadySC · Advanced Manufacturing Skills Training Program
Affordability
Life sciences manufacturers are facing steep real estate costs in established clusters like Charleston and the Research Triangle. Colleton offers the same reach to major ports and interstates, at a fraction of the price.
Site-Ready Options, When You’re Ready
Room to build pharmaceutical, medical device and chemical processing facilities on the I-95 corridor, with zoning for chemical compound processing and two international ports within 80 miles.
