Luring development to I-85

Oconee County should keep in mind that when it comes to attracting economic development it’s likely to have an ally in the man who runs the office of the South Carolina Department of Commerce in Columbia. At last night’s meeting of the County Council and the county’s state Legislative Delegation, Representative Bill Sandifer said the contact (Bobby Hitt) is someone the county should turn to. Many years back, Hitt worked for the then Seneca Journal and Tugaloo Tribune and that association should bode well for Oconee, Sandifer said.
