Greenwood Welcomes New Business Expansion: CCR to Boost Local Economy with Jobs and Investments

Good morning from Greenwood! We’ve got some exciting news to share about our local economy that’s sure to brighten up this cloudy morning, just like the sun is expected to do later today. Get ready for a bit of something fresh—as Casting Cleaning Resources (CCR) is making a major move in town!

What’s Happening?

Our favorite provider of casting cleaning services, Casting Cleaning Resources, is officially expanding its operations right here in Greenwood County. They’re moving to a spiffy, brand-new, standalone 56,120-square-foot facility. That’s a whole lot of square footage, right? And yes, the rumors are true—this move involves a big investment to the tune of $5 million. Talk about a huge boost for our local economy!

Job Opportunities Ahead

The best part? This expansion means job opportunities. CCR is bringing 42 new jobs to the area. So, if you’ve been on the job hunt or looking for a new career path, this could be your chance! Also, good news for current CCR employees—the company promises to retain existing jobs too. For those interested in joining the CCR team, don’t forget to check out their contact page. It’s a fantastic chance to be part of a growing company that’s investing in our very own community!

Why Greenwood?

You might be wondering, why did CCR choose to expand here? Well, our corner of South Carolina offers a lot to praise. According to the local county council chairman, the strength and loyalty of Greenwood’s workforce is a major attraction. Local talent really is the backbone of any business, and Greenwood is known for it. We really do have something special here!

A Quick Throwback

A little trip down memory lane tells us that Casting Cleaning Resources started their journey way back in 1992 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since then, they’ve spread their wings with sites in Iowa, Wisconsin, and South Carolina. With the new facility in January, CCR is set to strengthen existing partnerships and create room for future growth. It’s like watching your favorite tree grow and bear fruit, isn’t it?

A Community Triumph

As this new chapter for CCR unfolds, it’s not just about business. It’s also a story of community support and collaboration. State and county officials have been right there, ready to lend a helping hand, ensuring that CCR can make this exciting move successfully. Mr. Billy Robinson from CCR mentioned how thankful the company is for this essential support driving the business forward. It’s heartwarming to see such partnerships that ultimately benefit us all!

What’s Next?

Operations are expected to be fully online in January, so mark your calendars. And while you wait, maybe head outside and enjoy the partially cloudy skies later today as the fog clears. By tonight, expect a bit of mist and reduced visibility, especially for those night owls among us. Drive safe out there!
