Economic development announcement today

Announcement is to be made today of the arrival of a new employer to locate inside the Oconee County Industry and Technology Park on highway 11.  So far, the employer has been publicly identified by the code name “Queso.”  Last night members of Oconee County Council heralded the creation of jobs, along with the work by the Oconee Economic Alliance to land the employer.  According to Councilman Julian Davis, the county’s decision to grade back section of the park paid off handsomely during the process to attract the employer.
