FLORENCE – On Wednesday, the North Eastern Strategic Alliance (NESA), an economic development organization encompassing South Carolina’s northeast region, held its 2012 legislative reception.
Members of NESA’s board, investors, a host of legislators, county developers, administrators, council chairs, and economic development board chairs, from throughout the NESA region, attended the reception.
The event’s purpose was to express NESA’s appreciation for the legislators’ efforts to advance the region’s economic development goals, and to draw attention to the importance of continued coordination between elected officials and community leaders.
“NESA continues to work diligently to bring jobs to our region, and we in the legislature will do everything in our power to help get South Carolinians back to work,” said Sen. J. Yancey McGill, who serves on NESA’s executive committee.
“Regionalism and public-private coordination are vital to successful economic development. I’m very proud that NESA continues to work closely and effectively with our elected officials to bring jobs to our region,” added Jeff McKay, NESA’s executive director.
The North Eastern Strategic Alliance (NESA) is a regional economic development organization that serves a nine-county region in the northeast corner of South Carolina. NESA’s nine member counties are Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Marion, Marlboro and Williamsburg.
