Manufacturing

When choosing the right location for a manufacturing facility, a range of critical factors must be considered. Supply-chain access, utilities and transportation, abundant local labor, industry-friendly codes and regulations, suitable environmental conditions, scalability, and financial incentives are all key. And next-generation commerce park Camp Hall, located in the business-friendly Charleston, South Carolina, region, checks all of these boxes and more.

It’s tough to find a faster-growing region than Charleston in the Southeast. It’s home to the state’s highest growth rate, with an average of 34 new people moving to the region daily. That’s one reason Joint Base Charleston, defense contractors, Boeing, and major vehicle manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and Volvo are thriving here.
