A Summerville marine business is adding 100 jobs under its latest expansion. Sportsman Boats Manufacturing is investing $3.5 million at its existing Dorchester County operations. The S.C. Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved state tax credits the manufacturer can claim later, based on the number of new jobs it creates.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits to support the $4.1 million project. A $100,000 Set Aside grant was also awarded to Greenville County to assist with the costs of building upfits.

One of the biggest potential job-creating bonanzas in the country, a giant new auto plant proposed by Toyota and Mazda, began in secret with a mysterious code name. Now it has become a full-blown race among states to try to reel in the $1.6-billion project that will create 4,000 good-paying direct jobs and thousands of other indirect jobs.

The emergency center project is funded by the State of South Carolina through a one-time, $3.6 million Transformation Fund Grant and additional funds resulting from the region's designation as the SC Promise Zone. Other funding has been committed by local community stakeholders.

More than half a million dollars in grant money is being used to help people across South Carolina get to work. A portion of the money will be used in the Pee Dee, helping people get to their jobs with major employers in different counties.
