“Right time to build in Oconee County”

A symbolic groundbreaking attracted a large crowd this afternoon to the Oconee Industrial and Technology Park, where a plastics operation is under construction.  The BMW car making plant may be 60 miles from Oconee, but the commitment by Baxter Manufacturing and High-Tech Mold Carolina to build in Oconee is seen as an example of a spinoff effect that benefits the county.  The company president/CEO, Robert Schulte, delighted State Senator Thomas Alexander and others at the ceremony when he said that the large building under construction will be the first of three phases of investment.  We’ll have further details tomorrow on 101.7/WGOG NEWS tomorrow.
