Loan to build the next spec building to be made final

A loan to allow Oconee to build its next speculative industrial building is to be made final this month. Richard Blackwell of the Oconee Economic Alliance announced the real estate closing and the finalization of the state loan is set for 10 o’clock Tuesday, March 20. Oconee applied to Santee Cooper, the South Carolina Public Service Authority, for the loan. The spec building is planned for county’s undeveloped Golden Corner Commerce Park at Fair Play. Meantime, the frequent rains have created muddy conditions at Golden Corner, delaying the construction of an access road to the park property.
