Luck Companies invests $450 million in South Carolina with new quarries and expansions

Luck Companies plans to invest $450 million in South Carolina over the next 20 years, establishing four new quarries and expanding two existing sites. The new quarry in Edgefield County will produce 600,000 tons of crushed stone annually. The Edgefield quarry represents only 15% of the total investment. It will create 10 local jobs and is expected to cost $70 million over its 70-year operation. Other quarries in Saluda, Chester, and Spartanburg counties will also create jobs and support local development. The company received state permits for the Edgefield site after environmental studies showed no concerns. Local officials express optimism about the economic benefits and job creation from these new operations.
