Laurens County Council on March 23 approved the second reading of Ordinance 1006, known on the agenda as "Project Sunshine," advancing the measure toward a planned third reading in April.
The ordinance was taken up during a special-call portion of the meeting. Meeting materials and discussion at the hearing described Project Sunshine as a large manufacturing investment — the agenda notes included a $350,000,000 figure and an estimate of roughly 560 additional employees — but the council did not provide budgetary or incentive details in the public record at this session.
Council members voted to approve the ordinance on second reading by voice/hand vote (recorded in the meeting as "4 0"). The council indicated a third reading and announced a public notice will follow the next procedural step.
The meeting offered no additional written or financial detail about the project's funding, tax incentives, or site conditions. The council did not take additional fiscal action or adopt final approvals at this session; members said the item will return for its next reading in April. The meeting record does not specify which departments, if any, will oversee follow-up or permitting for the project.
The special-call meeting also included a brief reports period with no public comment signed up for that portion of the agenda before the council recessed and later opened its quarterly public input session.
The council's next scheduled public meeting was announced during the session; no formal date for final adoption of Ordinance 1006 was stated on the record at this meeting.
