Officials: SC Jobs Priority

By Jenny Arnold - The Lancaster News
Economic development was on a lot of people’s minds at the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce’s legislative breakfast on Tuesday.

State House Reps. Deborah Long and Jimmy Neal, and state Sens. Mick Mulvaney and Vincent Sheheen participated in a panel discussion at the meeting. Otis Rawl, president of the S.C. Chamber of Commerce, outlined challenges facing the state in economic development.

Rawl said Boeing’s recent announcement to bring jobs to Charleston is great news for the state, but state lawmakers need to focus on being aggressive about bringing more jobs to South Carolina.
