The ATC is located in an Opportunity Zone, and will create more than 1,500 full time jobs by 2025 as part of a $314 million investment. “Today is an amazing day for Hampton County, South Carolina, and the Opportunity Zone initiative as a whole,” Senator Scott said. “This is the exact sort of investment we expected in creating Opportunity Zones, and is a classic example of the potential for zones across the country. These 1,500 new full-time jobs and 500 seasonal jobs will help power rural Hampton County’s economy for years to come, helping an historically underserved community build a better future for hard-working South Carolinians. The ATC will “include greenhouses for locally grown, pesticide-free tomatoes, leafy greens, blueberries, and other produce, a 150,000-square-foot distribution center, and a co-packing facility.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:28:51Z |
