From the first time I visited Marion County three years ago, I have been in awe of the optimism of its citizens... and their hospitality to boot. Even Sen. DeMint has experienced their contagious optimism firsthand. Recently, both attributes were again on display at the Marion County Economic Development Luncheon. The event is a sponsored partnership between the County Economic Development Commission and the area Chamber of Commerce. The event was held at the Drydock Restaurant, and the delicious food alone was worth my attendance. However, its primary goal is to keep the citizenry informed on county economic issues such as current and projected job growth. Also discussed were unemployment figures and initiatives in the works to attract new industry to the area such as the new LogistiCare call center in the city of Mullins. The call center will bring 50 jobs to the area. This is all done with the collaboration of elected officials, local industry and concerned citizens.
I believe for Marion County that the best is yet to come. Though the county struggles against high unemployment, they never waiver in their belief that Marion County is a great place to live and a vital part of South Carolina’s economic future. Marion County’s job numbers and overall economy are incrementally progressing, but the people there already make it one of the best places in South Carolina to visit or call home.
