Hardeeville official outlines industrial leases, logistics terminal and thousands of future jobs
Summary
Hardeeville presentation highlighted major industrial leases and logistics projects, including a 300,000‑sq‑ft TS Conductor lease and a 880‑acre SALT terminal; presenters projected thousands of new jobs and significant capital investment.
Hardeeville officials described recent commercial commitments and larger logistics projects they say will transform the town's southern corridor. "TS Conductor, has leased a little over 300,000 square feet... They're gonna be creating 462 new manufacturing jobs," the presenter said while showing plans for a 300,000‑sq‑ft facility and an option on an additional 1,000,000 sq ft.
Speakers also described the South Atlantic Logistics Terminal (SALT), an 880‑acre project that at full build‑out "will have about 6,000,000 square feet of industrial and warehouse space representing $200,000,000 in capital investment and will generate in excess of 550 new jobs." Officials pointed to proximity to the Port of Savannah and the Hyundai plant in Georgia as drivers for supplier networks and site interest.
The presentation tied those developments to planned interstate work: Exit 8 is being redesigned to handle high‑volume traffic and a proposed Exit 3 (a converging diamond interchange) was discussed as part of the I‑95 widening. Officials warned large projects will drive competition for contractors and raise construction costs on multi‑year schedules.
Officials said the town is pursuing workforce training partnerships and land‑use readiness, while seeking to preserve environmental quality as development advances.
