South Carolina Poised for Economic Boom: Solar, Auto, and Tech Investments Spark Job Creation in 2025
Good morning, this is your South Carolina news summary for Tuesday, November 18th, 2025.
South Carolina lawmakers are preparing to debate one of the most restrictive abortion bills in the nation. A state Senate subcommittee is scheduled to discuss the proposal today, though it faces significant opposition in the legislature. Meanwhile, Columbia police are investigating a shooting Friday that injured someone in a parking lot near a Planned Parenthood facility to determine if it was related to the clinic.
On the economic front, South Carolina continues attracting major investments. First Solar announced plans to open a new solar panel manufacturing facility in Cherokee County with a 330 million dollar investment that will create over 600 new jobs, with operations beginning in 2026. Additionally, DartPoints is expanding its Greenville County data center with a 125 million dollar investment generating ten new high-tech positions. The state is experiencing a wave of industrial growth, including operations from Isuzu North America, which selected Greenville County for a new production base with a 280 million dollar investment creating more than 700 jobs.
In infrastructure news, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham secured nearly 50 million dollars in federal funding for South Carolina projects through the fiscal year 2026 government funding package. Joint Base Charleston will receive 33 million dollars for an aeromedical evacuation facility, while Clemson University gets 4.5 million dollars for equipment at its new veterinary school. Several municipalities will benefit from fire department upgrades, including Tega Cay receiving 534,000 dollars and Blythewood getting 1.25 million dollars.
A concerning development emerged regarding child abuse in South Carolina. A new study found that child abuse costs the state 74.2 billion dollars annually in economic losses. Additionally, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that state lawmakers improperly gave themselves a 1,500 dollar monthly raise, which they must now forfeit.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch for continued legislative debates over the proposed abortion bill, as well as updates on the state's expanding manufacturing sector and infrastructure projects underway across South Carolina.
