The Southern Carolina area consists of Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell and Hampton counties in the southern part of South Carolina. The region is located in the southwestern corner of our state, and borders the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site, the Savannah River and metropolitan areas in Aiken and Orangeburg counties. We are central to Augusta, Georgia (40 minutes); Columbia, SC (50 minutes); Charleston, SC (80 minutes); and Savannah, Georgia (90 minutes).

The SouthernCarolina Alliance (SCA) was formed as a non-profit economic development organization to aggressively market the Southern Carolina area for industrial locations. Our economic development team consists of site location professionals prepared to quickly assess site location needs and formulate sites and present existing buildings that will meet the clients business needs. Working with the South Carolina Department of Commerce, the Alliance prepares incentive packages that are the most competitive offered in the Southeastern United States.
