Jafza Hub to Bring Thousands of Jobs to SC
U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., says “support is overwhelming†from most Orangeburg County residents for a Dubai company’s plans to build a logistics hub there.
Clyburn said he has received letters from a few residents opposing the project because of concerns about increased truck traffic.
But “most people think about the future,†said Clyburn, who, as majority whip, is the Democrats’ chief vote-gatherer in the House and its third-ranking member.
Jafza International of Dubai announced plans in September to build a complex of warehouses on a 1,324-acre site on Interstate 95 near Santee that is expected to employ 5,500 people and draw investments worth $600 million by 2015.
Put down another win for South Carolina. This is great news!
