Dorchester County is advancing a major 600,000-square-foot warehouse project in Summerville, operated by Harbor Logistics, expected to create around 50 direct jobs and stimulate broader economic activity. The facility’s strategic location near Interstate 26 enhances access to the Port of Charleston, boosting logistics and supporting ancillary sectors like trucking and retail.
Economic Benefits
County officials project increased tax revenue to fund infrastructure, schools, and services, with ripple effects for local businesses including construction, maintenance, and food services. Harbor Logistics CEO Kevin Shubi highlighted growth in trucking and deliveries, positioning the site as a hub for regional supply chains.
Regional Impact
One in nine South Carolina jobs ties to port activity, underscoring the warehouse’s role in Lowcountry expansion as Harbor Logistics’ fifth local site. Leaders anticipate further industrial development in Dorchester and Charleston counties, drawing manufacturers and retailers.
