During the October 16, 2024, Newberry County Council meeting, October was proclaimed as Manufacturing Month in Newberry County.
Here is the Proclamation approved by Newberry County Council:
"WHEREAS, Newberry County is home to nearly 40 manufacturing firms, representing the largest business sector in our community, and employing more than 5,300 of our people; and
"WHEREAS, Manufacturing is one of the highest-paying business sectors in our community, averaging an annual salary of about $58,000 per year or about $29 per hour; and
"WHEREAS, combined these manufacturing businesses produce an annual payroll of more than $300 million per year; and
"WHEREAS, Newberry County has one of the largest manufacturing workforces in the State of South Carolina, accounting for more than 27% of our workforce, more than double the state’s 12% and more than triple the nation’s 8.4%; and
"WHEREAS, Manufacturing is the vanguard of local economies, leading to more new jobs and investment outside the manufacturing sector; and
"WHEREAS, in the last decade, Newberry County has welcomed 13 new manufacturing companies into our county, representing more than $726 million in investment, and the creation of 1,690 new jobs; and
"WHEREAS, Newberry County’s existing manufacturers have expanded 18 times in the last decade, investing more than $241 million and creating more than 510 new jobs; and
"WHEREAS, five of the top 10 taxpaying businesses in the county are manufacturers, supporting local government, emergency response and local schools.
"NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the County Council of the County of Newberry that October shall be Manufacturing Month in Newberry County, in recognition of the many benefits and contributions of our manufacturing sector."
