Summer Station’s 800 employees are the plant’s largest economic benefit. They live in the area, so their paychecks support local attractions, stores and restaurants.
The new plants will bring additional jobs. Construction could employ 3,000 people for several years. Once completed, the new units may add 800 to 1,000 permanent workers – all of whom will live and spend money in the Midlands.
SCE&G pays Fairfield County more than $19 million a year in property taxes. Those tax dollars benefit schools, roads and other local infrastructure. Adding two more units will increase the tax base.
Summer Station has been a good corporate citizen to Jenkinsville, Fairfield County, and the region. The plant’s employees and their families believe in giving back to the communities they call home. They are involved in civic organizations and local charities. These include the American Cancer Society, Harvest Hope Food Drive, Meals on Wheels, March of Dimes, Junior Achievement and the United Way.
