foxhunting brought Janice Coley to Kershaw County, but it was the enthusiasm of the community that

made her want to stay.As publisher of The Camden

Equestrian, board member of the South Carolina Equine Promotion Foundation and Secretary for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation South Carolina Committee, Coley is immersed in a network of horse enthusiasts. Yet just five years ago Coley was a resident of Charlotte, leading the fast-paced life of a successful advertising executive.

“My mother often told me I lived too fast, and finally I realized

she was right,” Coley says. “In 2003 I bought a horse, Kirby, who became my best friend and changed my life.”

A new home in camdenIn addition to participating

with Kirby in hunts and equestrian activities around Charlotte, Coley made the hour-long drive once or twice a week to hunt and ride the trails in Camden. In the spring of 2006, she decided to stay.

“I liked the informality of a small town,” she says, “the pace is slower, and you can take time to get to know people.”

After living in Camden for a year, Coley realized the depth of

the area’s equine heritage. “It’s not a rural area with some horse farms scattered about; it is a true ‘horse town,’ which has supported jobs and businesses for decades. The stories are endless and new ones are being made every day.”

the camden equestrianColey conceived the idea of

publishing a magazine that would celebrate the community and its unique place in the equine industry. The Camden Equestrian, a full-color, high-quality glossy magazine was born, sharing stories and promoting business.

“Bringing people together is what it’s all about. Business owners

know their customers by name and care about their interests.”

Readers from 14 states subscribe to The Camden Equestrian to keep in touch with the area’s training, hunting, showing and other horse-related activities. Although Coley lost her best friend Kirby this year, another horse soon turned up “out of the blue,” she says. “He is a beautiful Thoroughbred off the track, and I’m sure Kirby is happy that I have a new friend.”

Thoroughbred training facilities

like The Camden Training Center bring in hundreds of Thoroughbred racehorses each year. “The footing and climate is great for horses. Camden has arguably the finest training facilities in the country,” Coley says.

The South Carolina Equine Park, the National Steeplechase Museum, Springdale Race Course and the Camden Equine Rehabilitation & Conditioning Center draw people here, further contributing to the quality of life.

Coley enjoys living on her small horse farm and running her equine-themed business, which promotes the area for others to enjoy. “I would encourage anyone to consider Kershaw County. Our area is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, a large historic district, festivals, shopping and dining. There is always something to do, even if it is sitting in the barn smelling the hay.”

janice coley moved here from charlotte in 2006 and founded the Camden equestrian, a magazine that keeps readers in touch with the area’s many horse-related activities.

Ask companies like Target and Kawashima Textiles why they chose Kershaw County as a place to do business, and their answers will include several factors.

A skilled workforce, excellent transportation infrastructure, proximity to the state capital of Columbia and low operating costs will probably be among the reasons. But most important, Kershaw County was ready – ready to work.

That is why Southeast Renewable Energy announced in late 2010 that it is constructing a $50 million biomass plant in Kershaw County that

will ultimately hire 20 employees. The plant is scheduled to open in late 2012.

Ready, set, goAs an active participant in the state’s readySC

program, Kershaw County is ready to seamlessly start up new facilities, identify company needs and train local workers to meet the challenges of evolving industries in a changing world. The readySC program acts as an outsourced human resources department, at little or no cost to the company, by recruiting and advertising, developing a relevant curriculum and

educating trainers and potential new workers.

ReadySC has trained 1,655 workers at companies in Kershaw County, including Advanced Performance Tech, BlueCross BlueShield, DANA Corp., Hardwicke Chemical, Heritage Embroidery, Kawashima Textiles, Target and Veratec.

Regionally speakingMeanwhile, on a more regional

level, the Central SC Alliance, a group of 10 counties and one city in the heart of the state, pools assets to attract capital investment and jobs. In addition, Central Carolina Technical College in Camden/Sumter and Midlands Technical College in Columbia offer industrial training and occupational education to workers in Kershaw County through their continuing education programs and credit courses.

Automotive AssetsAll these efforts have a

tangible economic result, as Kershaw County is home to a small but growing base of automotive-related manufacturers. Kawashima Textiles USA makes car seat fabric, South Carolina Yutaka Technologies manufactures catalytic converters, and Dana Corporation produces trailer modules. Other area companies are the source for products such as aluminum wheels, filter elements and more.

location that’s Right on target

Since these products must be able to reach consumers quickly, another reason for choosing the area as a home base is location. Kershaw County is located halfway between New York and Miami, and is within 24-hour ground access to more than 70 percent of the U.S. market.

These logistics affect the Target Distribution Center, which has more than 40 acres under one roof and recently underwent a $70 million expansion to become the retailer’s largest distribution center in the U.S. It serves Target

stores in the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia, which are all easily accessible from the nearby interstate system.

growing service sectorKershaw County seeks to

continue growing its industry by targeting the business services sector, which includes call centers, corporate offices, claims and processing centers, and more. One of the latest developments to recruit these types of businesses is a virtual call center spec building in Wateree Executive Park, which consists of virtual plans for a 60,000-square-foot building made available to companies for review.

Without the costly investment of bricks and mortar, Kershaw County is able to offer new businesses a tangible site, complete with a 3-D video of the virtual building. When a business decides to call the building home, construction of a shell building can be completed in 90 days or less.

chamber reportChAmBEr ovErsEEs BriCk wAlkwAy progrAm

one of the most historic buildings in all of

south carolina now houses the kershaw

county chamber of commerce & visitors center.

the old Robert mills courthouse in downtown

camden was constructed in 1825 and then expanded

in 1845, and the building was designed by architect

Robert mills who also designed the Washington

monument. mills is also responsible for several

other landmark structures in south carolina and

the southeast.

“it is interesting being headquartered in a

building that dates back to before the civil War,”

says Liz horton, executive director of the kershaw

county chamber of commerce & visitors center.

“the building served as kershaw county’s courthouse

until 1906, when a new courthouse was built on the

location of the present day courthouse. the mills

building went through a number of different

owners until the chamber bought it in 1999.”

horton says the chamber has been in the building

since the mid-2000s, with offices on the first floor

of the two-story structure.

“When you’re in a building this old, funds are

always needed for upkeep and restoration, and to

date, nearly $1.5 million has been spent on restoring

the building back to its 1845 condition,” she says.

“in fact, we just recently received another grant

and have spent $40,000 for additional renovations,

replacing tile and restoring floors throughout

the structure.”

$100 brickshorton says most of the upgrades have been

paid for by grants and private donations, and a

brick Walkway program is also in place with

commemorative bricks installed and engraved

along the promenade in front of the courthouse.

“bricks sell to the public for $100 apiece and

can be in honor of someone who has passed away,

or to commemorate an event or a variety of other

reasons,” she says. “this old courthouse hosts a lot

of weddings, and several brides and grooms have

purchased bricks to highlight their special event.”

the courthouse is easily accessible off interstate

20 at exit 98, en route to the downtown district

of camden.

“being such an old building, visitors like to

stop in and see the facility itself before picking up

brochures that detail other attractions throughout

the community,” horton says. “the building has

been restored with modern conveniences, but still

has its charm. you won’t see many 1825 buildings

equipped with wireless internet, but this one is.”

KershaW suPPOrts Farm-tO-taBle mOvement

Like many progressive areas

of the country, kershaw county

embraces the farm-to-table

movement, a push by consumers

to buy food directly from local

farmers, thereby reducing

“food miles” on products and

supporting local agriculture

at the same time.

oh, and it also happens that

fresh food tastes better. in fact,

kershaw county restaurants such

as the mill Pond steakhouse,

located in Rembert, go out of

their way to use fresh, local

ingredients. for the mill Pond’s

fried Green tomato napoleon, a

popular appetizer, chefs seek out

local tomatoes, which are fried

and then layered with cheese and

lump crab meat.

along the same lines, several

kershaw county restaurants

participate in south carolina’s

fresh on the menu program.

Launched in 2008 and part of the

certified sc initiative, fresh on

the menu encourages local chefs

to ensure that at least 25 percent

of their menus include south

carolina-grown foods.

throughout the county. a school

construction program, budgeted

at $102.2 million, includes two

middle schools, new athletic

It was a good year for the Kershaw County School District. All three of its high schools were among 72 recognized by the state for high achievement on either ACT or SAT college entrance tests. The

seniors’ average composite scores on the ACT reached an all-time district high. The test is composed of four sub-categories, and Kershaw students stayed the same or improved in each category, with the biggest improvements made in the English category. The local average score increased two-tenths of a point to 20.2 on a 36-point scale.
