Georgetown County

Georgetown County is located in northeastern South Carolina on the Atlantic Ocean, between Myrtle Beach and Charleston and surrounded by Berkley, Charleston, Marion, Horry and Williamsburg Counties. It offers a superior location for business. This is due to the county and state's exceptional economic climate that successfully holds down operating costs and increases the return on investment for business.
Georgetown County offers easy access to port and rail service, an available, trainable work force, tax advantages and economic incentives. The Georgetown County Commerce Center offers established infrastructure at three industrial parks.

We also provide an exceptional quality of life: the beach, natural beauty, historic appeal, culture, golf, a small town atmosphere with conveniences of larger cities and much more.

Georgetown is the oldest continuously open seaport on the eastern seaboard. It is known as a shallow-draft port, with a water level of 27 feet. This is a break-bulk port that imports salt, cement, wire, aluminum, forest products and limestone. The port also leases a berth to ISG, a major importer of raw materials. The Port of Georgetown is the South Carolina State Ports Authority's dedicated break-bulk and bulk facility. It annually handles approximately 1.8 million tons of cargo.
