JASPER COUNTY
The 2nd Fastest
Growing County in the State of South Carolina
Jasper
County is a county of diversity and opportunity, set among thousands
of acres of spreading live oak trees covered in Spanish Moss and
stately southern pine forests. Rich in history as well as commerce,
the 662 - square mile region is host to a thriving industrial
community and a booming tourist trade, both of which benefit from
the mild climate and pleasant surroundings of the South Carolina
Lowcountry.
Named for Revolutionary
War Hero Sergeant William Jasper, the county was created in 1912. It
is ideally situated between the historic port cities of Charleston
and Savannah with easy access to an international airport,
Interstate 95 via seven interchanges, four U.S. Highways, rail and a
3100 foot paved runway for private aircraft in the county seat of
Ridgeland.
Business, industry and tourism mingle in a diverse, progressive
atmosphere with festivals, musical extravaganzas and a myriad of
other recreational activities. Hilton Head Island resort,
internationally famous for its professional golf and tennis
tournaments, is just a half-hour away.
Salt-water fishing is a common sight along our coast, just as fresh
water fishermen, flock to the Savannah, Tullifinny, Coosawhatichie,
Pocotaligo and New rivers. Jasper County is a sportsman's paradise
abundant with deer, turkey, quail, dove, waterfowl and other game.
Protected species of ducks, marsh hens, alligators and others may be
observed in the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge.
A wide variety of public schools, private academies and nearby
colleges demonstrates Jasper County's commitment to education at all
levels, as do workplace skill enhancement classes regularly taught
at a neighboring technical college. Construction is underway to
construct a new four-year campus of the University of South Carolina
at the Jasper and Beaufort County lines on Route 278 next to Sun
City.
The labor force within a 30-mile radius of the county center numbers
in excess of 250,000 and growing, and a fully developed
infrastructure assures availability of water, sewer, electric power
and telecommunications services throughout the region. Five major
hospitals are accessible within 30 miles of the county center.
Province Healthcare is building a 40 Bed hospital in the immediate
vicinity of Exit 8.
Jasper County has a well-established and rapidly expanding
industrial base, community of new businesses, and progressive
government which translate into an economic climate and residential
growth second to none in our region.
