“Blossom One” represents a textiles possibility

 

Textile work has virtually disappeared from the Oconee County landscape.  But there’s potential for a new textile employer to find a home in the county.  Richard Blackwell announced during Friday’s meeting of the board of the county Economic Alliance that a “textiles related project, generated by the South Carolina Department of Commerce, from Europe visited Oconee and seven other areas of the Upstate.  Oconee was his top choice.  A second visit is expected this fall.”  For now, the project has been code-named “Blossom One.”
