Chesterfield
Chesterfield County, South Carolina is recognized by its’ affordable cost of living far below the national average with available skilled, semi-skilled and trainable non-union workers. Just Southeast of Charlotte, the county is strategically located for easy access to five interstates, Charlotte NC, Columbia and Florence, SC and the Port of Charleston. It’s a place with business-friendly government whose taxation ranks near the lowest in South Carolina; a place that offers competitive incentive packages customized to meet the needs of business; a place that is building tomorrow’s workforce with creative programs at both the secondary and post-secondary levels; and a place with guaranteed labor availability through the REWARDS program and readySC. Chesterfield County is a place with large tracts of undeveloped land, SC Certified Sites and Industrial Parks with all utilities including rail and access to vast quantities of extremely pure water, wastewater, reliable, competitively priced electricity, natural gas & superior telecommunication access including Sonet. Chesterfield County has a small town lifestyle and big city connections; a place where you can still wash a car, water a lawn AND run a business without concern for water restrictions or the environment, regardless of rainfall conditions; a place that’s two hours to South Carolina’s famous beaches AND North Carolina’s gorgeous mountains with year round golf and a temperate four-season climate.
