South Carolina Navigates Economic Challenges and Community Innovations in 2025 Amid Infrastructure and Education Advances
Good morning, this is your South Carolina news summary for Thursday, November 27th.
South Carolina's economy showed resilience in 2025 despite significant headwinds. According to the South Carolina Chamber, the state experienced growth even as consumer spending pulled back and job creation slowed. Manufacturing, retail, and logistics sectors tied to international trade have faced particular pressure as businesses pause major investments while waiting for clarity on trade policy. Looking at 2026, economists warn of growing concerns about a potential economic slowdown.
On the infrastructure front, South Carolina continues making progress on several major projects. The state was awarded funding from the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus Program, with Dorchester County receiving eight electric school buses. Four are already operating on a 175-mile rural route, marking significant advancement in the state's green transportation initiatives. Meanwhile, LRT Company is preparing to break ground on a 252 million dollar mixed-use development featuring 600 units of multifamily housing alongside commercial space, signaling continued investment in the state's communities.
In education news, South Carolina public schools have embraced innovative programs. Riverview Charter School recently packed 50,000 meals in a single day just before Thanksgiving, demonstrating strong community engagement. Additionally, a nonprofit called DIG is expanding its reach in rural areas through a new STEM center being constructed in Allendale and Aiken counties. The organization has achieved remarkable success, with 100 percent of its 116 graduates finishing high school and 92 enrolling in postsecondary institutions.
Public safety officials reported four fatalities on South Carolina roadways during the weekend of November 21st through 23rd. Authorities continue monitoring traffic safety as the holiday season begins.
On the health front, Spartanburg County has been managing a measles outbreak since early October with more than 50 cases identified. The South Carolina Department of Public Health opened pop-up clinics offering free measles vaccines to address vaccine hesitancy affecting communities across the state.
Looking ahead, South Carolina residents should watch for developments surrounding the state's economic response to tariff policies and their impact on major manufacturing sectors. The SC Chamber's Economic Outlook Conference will continue examining these critical questions for 2026.
