Council advances first reading for Project NAM, a proposed $12M reuse project expected to create about 50 jobs
Summary
Kershaw County moved Project NAM — a proposed $12 million reuse of an existing textile-site facility with an estimated 50 new jobs — forward with unanimous first reading for an ordinance facilitating the project.
Kershaw County Council gave unanimous first-reading approval on Tuesday to an ordinance supporting Project NAM, a proposed $12 million private investment that the county’s economic development staff said would reuse an existing textile-plant structure and create an estimated 50 local jobs.
Economic development staff described the proposal as a re-use of an existing industrial building in the county and said Project NAM is expected to qualify for state economic credits. The ordinance advanced on first reading to allow the county to process any required approvals and to support the company’s site-selection timeline.
Council members praised the county’s recent run of economic development leads — including several projects that staff said are in varying stages of commitment — and emphasized the importance of local jobs to reduce workforce outflow. The item will return for subsequent readings where details of any incentives, tax-credit coordination or local support will be finalized.
