South Carolina has long been known as a business-friendly state with a strong talent market, so it’s no surprise that more companies and residents are moving there. While CEOs enjoy the lack of property taxes, inventory taxes and generous tax exemptions, workers like the quality of life, rich scenery, beaches and affordable home prices. TELUS International, Oshkosh Defense, Health Supply US and Robert Bosch all announced projects here in the past two years.
