“Today’s announcement not only shows that our business-friendly climate is attracting investment, but that companies know our state’s rural areas are great places to put down roots. We celebrate DLS Retreading’s decision to invest $2.5 million and create 53 new jobs in Lancaster County,” said Gov. Nikki Haley.
