‘We’re hiring’ A new industry in rural South Carolina gives an economic boost to the region Grant Allendale is hiring in a corner of Allendale County in South Carolina. Grant Forest Products’ announcement in 2005 of plans to invest $260 million in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility came as great news to this county, which at the time had an unemployment rate of 12 percent and an average annual wage of about $9 per hour. SCANA economic development representatives and engineers, S.C. Department of Commerce officials and the Southern Carolina Regional Development Alliance worked closely with Grant to secure and develop an appropriate site, according to Alliance Executive Director Danny Black.
