New website has bells and whistles

What is one week old and already drawing compliments at the office of Oconee Economic Alliance? It’s a new website that offers the world a picture of Oconee County and what it has to offer for industrial site selectors. The Alliance today officially announced InvestOconeeSC.com. But Richard Blackwell, executive director, and his staff say this website has snapshots and information on available real estate and up-to-date workforce information on Oconee. Its tagline reads “Geography of Opportunity” and the first words you notice when opening the site are “Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds”—a takeoff on what the county has to offer both the work and recreation worlds. “The new website is modern and it’s up-to-date. And it’s just a 2014 website,” said Holleigh Alexander.” The young marketing and research manager said it also contains “a lot of cool features.” Blackwell said Oconee County, South Carolina is a just a dot on a world map when it comes to those individuals who have a say in where jobs are created in the 21st century, and he stressed: “”You really get one chance,” he said referring to the appearance of a website.
