Strong discussions continue for economic development project

Oconee’s new economic development director says a “warm status” and code-named project holds promise. Annie Caggiano, in her first official report to the county economic development board, says Oconee is one of three finalists for the location by a European maker of automotive components. According to Caggiano, holiday time is a time to be patient, as few projects are finalized during the holidays. The board of the Oconee Economic Alliance public-private partnership is considering a number of by-law changes, one of which is to re-title Caggiano from executive director to organization president.
