This award provides funding to Cherokee County to develop an industrial site in the Marble Industrial Park. The county will extend a 2″ force main and an 8″ waterline to the park and construct a pump station. The county will also clear and grub 16 acres of property and rough grade the first site in the park, which will be approximately 22,000 square feet. The county anticipates the project will result in private capital investment of approximately $9.5 million and creation of 25 jobs paying an average annual wage of $58,000 at the first site. Golden LEAF funds will be used for design and engineering, construction, and related costs.
