We are honored to join the community of Charleston, and through investment and job creation in the years to come, Ray-Mont Logistics is committed to providing further economic growth and generating new career opportunities for citizens within the community,” said Ray-Mont Logistics CEO Charles Raymond.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project. Charleston County was also awarded a $750,000 Set-Aside grant to assist with costs related to this project.
"Logistics companies are right at home in South Carolina. Ray-Mont Logistics' new facility in Charleston County will help a variety of industries export products around the world and succeed in a globally competitive marketplace,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
