Summary
On second reading of Ordinance 9-90, county staff said Project 'Soar' represents an estimated $9,250,000 investment and creation of 43 jobs at Octagon Multi-County Park. The business name was not disclosed in the presentation.
Laurens County held second reading of Ordinance 9-90 on Sept. 8 describing an economic development project (referred to in the transcript as Project "Soar") at the Octagon Multi-County Park. County staff reported the project would represent an estimated $9,250,000 capital investment and create about 43 new jobs. The company name was withheld in the public discussion.
The county attorney stated there had been no changes to the ordinance since first reading and summarized the project's investment and employment estimates. Council moved and seconded the motion to advance the ordinance on second reading. The transcript records the presentation and the motion; subsequent steps (timing for third reading or incentives specifics) were not detailed in this excerpt.
What to watch: If the ordinance advances to final approval it could enable incentive or facilitation mechanisms; staff and council indicated they will follow the normal second/third-reading process before any agreements are finalized.
