Gallo Winery Establishing A New East Coast Facility In Chester County"},"content":{"rendered":"

Governor Henry McMaster and the S.C. Department of Commerce today announced that\u00a0E. & J. Gallo Winery<\/a>\u00a0(Gallo), a global wine and spirits company, will build a new state-of-the-art production facility and distribution center in Chester County to support future business growth and its long-term innovation plans. The $423 million investment will create 496 new jobs over the next eight years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGallo\u2019s investment will transform Chester County and contribute greatly to South Carolina\u2019s economic prosperity. Creating a business environment in which world-class brands can grow and thrive is critical to South Carolina\u2019s long-term economic success, especially in our rural communities,\u201d\u00a0said Governor Henry McMaster<\/b>. \u201cWe are glad for their partnership and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Providing bottling and canning capacity as well as warehousing and distribution for the company\u2019s growing portfolio of wine and spirit brands, the new South Carolina facility will allow Gallo to better meet customer demand on the East Coast, while reducing its overall carbon footprint. Given\u00a0Chester County\u2019s\u00a0proximity to\u00a0the Port\u00a0of Charleston, this\u00a0new location will also serve as a hub for Gallo\u2019s import and export business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could not be more appreciative of the collaboration and support shown by the state of South Carolina, the South Carolina Department of Commerce, and those in Chester County along with all of the public and private entities who have embraced this project throughout the planning process and have welcomed us to the community,\u201d\u00a0said Gallo CEO, Ernest J. Gallo<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Construction on the new facility is set to begin almost immediately, with the first phase of the project on track to be completed in\u00a0October of\u00a02022. Gallo is working closely with\u00a0readySC\u00a0to prepare for hiring and various workforce training needs.\u00a0Individuals interested in joining the Gallo team should visit\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>www.gallocareers.com\/southcarolina<\/a>\u00a0for more information.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project. A $16 million Rural Infrastructure Fund grant was also awarded to Chester County to assist with costs of the project.<\/p>\n

Last month, the S.C. Department of Commerce went before the Joint Bond Review Committee and the State Fiscal Accountability Authority and received authorization for $8 million in bonds to offset costs of off-site mitigation under the Economic Development Bond Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that E. & J. Gallo selected Chester County as the home for their new East Coast operation. This is a project of regional significance, and Gallo selected us after an extensive search by J.M. Mullis Inc.\u00a0They determined that our strong manufacturing base and proximity to talent were the key determining factors.\u00a0Chester County is in a great strategic location along the I-77 corridor between two metros: Charlotte and Columbia.\u00a0We are honored to have this company locate in Chester County.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Chester County Council Chair Dr. Wylie Frederick<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
