- New Warehouse Launch: Harbor Logistics opened a 600,000 sq ft facility in Summerville, SC, reaching 65% capacity since July (from zero), signaling rapid growth.
- Economic Boost: Employs over 50 people now, with plans for a second shift and potential third warehouse. Local leaders like Dorchester County Council Vice Chairwoman Rita May Ranck highlight increased tax revenue for infrastructure and schools.
- Community Focus: SCP’s Jason Essenberg stresses mutual benefits, aiming to positively impact locals beyond just services.
Traffic Concerns
Increased truck traffic is a top worry as operations ramp up. Essenberg acknowledges more trucks will enter/exit but hopes to minimize disruption to residents.
This development fits Summerville’s ongoing industrial expansion in Dorchester County, balancing jobs (potentially hundreds more) against infrastructure strains like roads. Local tax gains could fund fixes, similar to recent projects in the area.
What specific aspect of this—jobs, traffic mitigation, or economic projections—interests you most?
