Investors
The South Carolina I-77 Alliance is a public/private 501 (c) (3) nonprofit economic development organization. The I-77 Alliance’s sole mission is to position and market the five counties as a world-class business location to attract capital investment and high quality jobs to the region. The Alliance receives operational funding from its member county governments and private sector investors.
By working together, investors in the Alliance create new economic opportunities for the region, which far exceed what they could accomplish on their own. The Alliance has established an aggressive marketing and branding campaign to bring new economic development leads and activities to Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Richland, and York Counties, which is made possible by our investors.
