Clarendon
County is ideally situated near the midway
point along Interstate 95 between New York
City and Miami. Interstate 95, the major north-south
trade route in the Eastern U.S., runs directly
through the center of the County. Several
of our top industrial buildings and industrial
sites are located on or very near I-95.
In addition,
Interstate 20 and Interstate 26 are within
30 minutes of all of our industrial sites
and offer direct access to east-west trade
routes as well as the Port of Charleston,
the second largest container port in the Eastern
U.S. US. Highways serving Clarendon County
include US 301, US 378, US 521, and US 15.
Major South Carolina highways include SC 527,
SC 261, and SC 260.The County is within 250
miles of the top metropolitan areas of the
Southeast including Atlanta, Jacksonville,
Charleston, Raleigh-Durham, Knoxville, and
Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, and is within
a day's drive to more than 30 percent of the
U.S. manufacturing facilities.South Carolina
has one of the best highway systems in the
nation. While South Carolina is 40th in size
nationally, it has the 5th largest state maintained
road system (a total of 42,000 toll-free miles)
and is crisscrossed by five strategic interstates
(I-20, I-26, I-77, I-85, and I-95). The location
and intersection of these interstates, combined
with South Carolina's state highways, provide
efficient access to the state's ports and
over half of the nations fastest growing metropolitan
statistical areas.One measure of the commitment
and success of South Carolina's road system
is the fact that the University of North Carolina
(Charlotte) rated South Carolina's Department
of Transportation first or second as the most
efficient system in the nation for the last
four years. A second measure of our commitment
is the state's launch of an unprecedented
$5 billion investment over the next several
years - this investment will more than double
current road/highway construction and improvements.
