The town of McColl moved its operations into a brand-new building at 300 South Main Street in late January. The spacious new facility replaces the old city hall on Gibson Avenue and was made possible by the generosity of the late Dr. C.W. Love’s family.

Today in Florence, the North Eastern Strategic Alliance (NESA) – a nine county regional economic development organization – hosted site selection consultant Woody Hydrick.

Hydrick specializes in finding sites for large-scale manufacturing facilities and has worked with companies such as Shell Oil and Pfizer.

Hydrick said that his company, Global Location Strategies located in Greenville, S.C., is running a number of projects in the Florence region and believes the region is a good fit for manufacturing.

Existing infrastructure and utilities are some of the region’s greatest assets according to Hydrick.
