Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 11, 2009

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement today after Dixie-Narco and their parent company, Crane Company, announced the expansion of nearly 1000 jobs at their Williston plant.

“Today’s announcement by Dixie-Narco is great news for the hard working people of Williston and the State of South Carolina. Many communities in our state – including Barnwell County – have been hit hardest by this troubled economy. I am especially proud for the people of Williston today as this announcement is a clear recognition of the quality and talent of those who live and work in their community.

“I wish to thank Secretary Joe Taylor and Bob Marriott of the South Carolina Department of Commerce, Marty Martin of the Barnwell County Economic Development Commission, Danny Black and Kay Maxwell of SouthernCarolina Alliance, and Eric Fast, president and CEO of Crane Company, for their commitment to this project and to the people of Barnwell County. Working together with so many others in the community – including my colleagues in Congress – we have fought to keep and create more jobs in South Carolina. I look forward to continuing our strong partnership on behalf of the people we have the privilege to represent and serve.”
