A survey by Development Counselors International (DCI) listed South Carolina as one of the top five states to do business.
South Carolina received 12.6 percent of the vote and was listed behind Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. The results are based on 356 responses from corporate executives and location advisors.
According to the DCI report, “The leading sources of information influencing executive perceptions of a community’s business climate were dialogue with industry peers, articles in newspapers and magazines and business travel.”
The survey found that 47 percent of location advisors said they expect manufacturing/production as the most common type of relocation project.
South Carolina was ranked the third best state for business in the last DCI survey in 2011.
