Dorchester County is a multi-faceted county. It offers excellent transportation logistics with quick access to the Port of Charleston and to national markets via
I-95 and I-26. The Port is served by a dedicated rail system that travels to more major cities than any other southern port. With the Charleston International Airport located just 12 miles away, you have easy access to destinations throughout the world on major air carriers.

Businesses looking to locate in Dorchester County can choose from more than 40 industrial sites, ranging in size from 5 acres to 500 acres. Four industrial parks are also available for consideration, with all infrastructure installed at the sites. With a strong commitment to supporting economic development, Dorchester County has attracted billions of dollars in new business investment over the past decade.

Economic assets are not the only attractions to Dorchester County and, specifically, the Summerville area. Housing is some of the most affordable in the Lowcountry area, and residents can choose from quaint small-town neighborhoods to prestigious riverside country club homes to scenic rural settings. Many of its public schools are among the best in the region and in the state. The county's educational system is of high interest to families locating in the region.
