A Storied Past and Bright Future GETTING TO KNOW THE 17 MUNICIPALITIES OF ORANGEBURG COUNTY Orangeburg County is home to both international industry and small farming communities, festivals that draw thousands and intimate local gathering spots. While the county’s offerings are varied, the residents of each of its 17 towns share a deep love for the place they call home.

Discover Orangeburg has curated a guide for both newcomers and long-time residents to learn a little of the past and present offerings of these unique towns.

ORANGEBURG — County Seat

The 150-acre Edisto Memorial Gardens exhibits Orangeburg’s deep natural beauty. As one of the Top 20 visitor attractions in South Carolina, the gardens has azaleas, camellias, roses, and other flowers spaced among giant oaks and century-old cypress trees.

The city’s cultural offerings include the Orangeburg County Fine Arts

Center, the Orangeburg Civic Ballet, and festivals like Taste of Orangeburg and Festival of Roses.

Along with recreational facilities boasting playgrounds, tennis and pickleball courts, and soccer and baseball fields, the city is building a new skate park. The city is also home to the Hillcrest Golf Club — one of the top municipal courses in the state.

Orangeburg has two of the state’s historically black colleges and universities, Claflin University OrangeburgChamber.com

and South Carolina State University.

Additionally, Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College provides an advanced technical training educational option also.

The city’s rich history began in 1704 with the arrival of George Sterling, an Indian trader. The village was renamed from “Edisto” to “Orangeburg” in 1730 in honor of William IV, Prince of Orange, who was the son-in-law of King George II.

BOWMAN Bowman is best known for its quality agricultural and dairy products. The Bowman Nature Park and the Bowman Inner Park include picnic areas, walking trails, volleyball, basketball, tennis courts and meeting facilities.

Each September, the town hosts the Harvest Festival, which includes a parade, carnival rides, a fish fry, a talent show, a barbecue cook-off, music and street dances.

In the 1880s, a group of men, including Samuel W. Dribble, saw the agricultural and lumber potential of the land that now comprises Bowman. Dribble bought a sizable portion of the Bowman family estate for development. Bowman became a major cotton producer and was incorporated in 1903.

BRANCHVILLE Branchville, home to the world’s first railroad junction, celebrates its place in railroad history with the annual Raylrode Daze Festivul. The event features frontier shoot-outs, country music, arts and crafts, and food.

The Branchville Depot includes a museum with antique railroad memorabilia and a replica of the first steam locomotive.

The town has two playgrounds, a recreation center, and a combined football and baseball field. Water sports are enjoyed on the nearby Edisto River.

Branchville is one of the state’s earliest organized communities and its growth was spurred by the presence of the railroad, which came to town in 1838.

The town was incorporated in 1858.

COPE Like many towns in the county, Cope was founded by a railroad company in 1894. The town was named for the local farmer, Jacob Martin Cope, who gave the land around the railroad station for development.

Along with the rail station, which still stands, the town has other notable landmarks. Valentines Gin and Store has vintage wares from the 1930’s, ’40s and ’50s. The cotton gin beside the store still functions. The mural on the side of Bank of Cope is a popular spot for photos.

Residents enjoy fishing in ponds and in the Edisto River, as well as hunting deer, dove, quail and other small game.

CORDOVA Located on a ridge between the north and south forks of the Edisto River, Cordova is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with its hiking trails and opportunities for boating and fishing.

Cordova has a primary school and a high school. Members of the Cordova Community Senior Center can participate in activities, use exercise machines and visit the library. The Cordova Town Hall is the site of many community events, fundraisers and private parties.

The town is believed to have gotten its name from the Atlantic Coastline Railroad Co. when the railroad was completed in 1893.

ELLOREE The town is well known for the Elloree Trials, the thoroughbred and quarter horse races, held annually in March. The event also features a parachute exhibition, 10

Discover Orangeburg 2024/25

the Miss Elloree Trials Pageant, contests and food vendors.

Residents and visitors enjoy Elloree’s revitalized downtown, which includes brick crosswalks lined with flowers and hardwood trees, gift boutiques, arts and crafts shops, an auction house, and restaurants in historic buildings.

The award-winning Elloree Heritage Museum & Cultural Center is a must-see educational attraction with interactive exhibits about South Carolina’s rural past.

Elloree was founded in 1886. The name is derived from the Native American word meaning, “The home I love.”

EUTAWVILLE Take a step back in time with a visit to the Eutaw Springs Battlefield — the site of the last major Revolutionary War battle in the Carolinas.

Another notable historic site, the Historic Church of the Epiphany, constructed in 1849, and the parish house, built in the mid-1820s, still stand today.

The church is now home to Epiphany Episcopal Church.

The town has many recreational opportunities like nature refuges, trails and the campgrounds and marinas of Lake Marion.

The annual Eutaw Village Parade has carnival rides, beauty pageant, live music and food.

Eutawville was chartered in 1884 and its name comes from the Native American word “eutaw,” which means “pine tree.”

HOLLY HILL The construction of a railroad depot in 1886 led to the town’s founding the following year. Today, the Holly Hill Depot houses the town’s visitor center and the Tri-County Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The Holly Hill Town Hall and the Holly Hill Police Department are located in the renovated facilities that once housed Holly Hill Middle School.

Notable parks include Gilmore Park, which has tennis courts, a walking track and picnic pavilions, and Francis Folk Park, which has a baseball field, basketball court, playground equipment and more.

Holly Hill is the birthplace of astronaut Frank Culbertson, who piloted the space shuttle Atlantis.

LIVINGSTON Livingston was formed in 1891 when Rufus Livingston gave right of way to the South Bound Railroad Co. The railroad was integral to the town’s life. Residents could catch the 9 a.m. train to Columbia and return on the 6 p.m. train.

Early enterprises in Livingston included a sawmill, a cotton gin, a grits mill, a wheelwright and a blacksmith.

The town has a new town hall and

municipal building, along with a softball field, tennis court and lighted public walking track.

NEESES Neeses began as a farming community first settled by Torody Nece, who was given a land grant in 1770. The farming community settled by Nece was first known as Silver Springs.

Neeses was incorporated in 1903 and many shops were built along the railroad track at that time. The town had a bank, a hotel, blacksmith shops, shoemaker shops, mercantile stores, a cotton gin and a sawmill.

A must-see is the Neeses Farm Museum, which has exhibits on farm life from the early 1800s.

Other notable spots in town include the off-road track at Thunder Valley Mudplex and a covered outdoor flea market.

A hidden gem is the restaurant located inside the local Piggly Wiggly. Their Southern flare packs the restaurant every Sunday.

North is the birthplace of Eartha Kitt, an international star who distinguished herself in film, theater, cabaret, music and on television.

The North Air Force Auxiliary Airfield is the site of practice cargo drops for the U.S. Air Force. Planes, such as the C-17, fly from Charleston to North for training runs.

NORWAY Norway was founded in 1891 when the railroad expanded to the area. The town almost had a name change when the similarity between the town names Norway and nearby North almost caused a train wreck. Railroad workers began referring to the Norway station as “Waynor” to avoid confusion.

Norway annually celebrates its farming heritage with the Cotton Festival, where visitors can learn about the history of cotton, from seeds to clothing, through educational exhibits.

The Old Willow High School is on the National Register of Historic Places. The renovated school is now the community and municipal center.

NORTH

Local men, including North’s first mayor John F. North, donated 100 acres to create a railroad depot and to build the town. Rail lines not only brought residents to North, but also telegraph lines and the cotton industry. Passenger trains ran through the town on their way to destinations across the Eastern Seaboard and freight trains brought goods and carried out cotton and other products.

The area is also known for its hunting and fishing, as well as water sports on the South Edisto River.

Cottontop, a family farm and plantation that dates back to 1905, is now a popular venue for weddings and special events.

The area is also known for its hunting and fishing, as well as water sports on the South Edisto River.

ROWESVILLE In 1876, Rowe’s Pump was incorporated as a town. Rowe’s Pump, named in honor of General Rowe, was established when the rail line was laid from Branchville to Orangeburg. A large water tank with OrangeburgChamber.com

steam-driven pumps and a wood shed supplied fuel to the wood-burning locomotives traveling the route. The town’s name was legally changed to Rowesville in 1889.

Rowesville is best known for Cattle Creek Campground, a Methodist campground that held religious meetings that thrived under the leadership of Bishop Francis Asbury in the late 1700s.

The campground continues to this day.

The Rowesville Community Center has been renovated and includes a full kitchen for catering events.

SANTEE The town of Santee began as a crossroads beside the Santee River.

The name Santee comes from a Native American word meaning “the rivers.”

The Santee River was dammed in the 1940s to supply hydroelectric power as part of the rural electrification efforts initiated under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. The completion of the Santee Cooper Lake’s flooding brought new business and tourism to the area.

The Santee Conference Center can accommodate 1,200 people for business conferences, corporate retreats, weddings and other private events.

The area has two of the state’s best golf courses, Santee National Golf Club and the Lake Marion Golf Course.

Lake Marion, the largest freshwater lake in South Carolina, is known for its big fish and abundant wildlife.

Visitors can enjoy fishing, boating, hiking and other outdoor adventures at nearby Santee State Park, bird watching at the Santee National Wildlife Refuge or revisiting history at the Santee Indian Mound and Fort Watson on the north side of the lake.

The Athletic Complex has two baseball/ softball fields, two full-length basketball courts, and bocce ball courts. The Santee Water Park is located beside the complex.

SPRINGFIELD Settlers came to the area as early as 1756 and the town was chartered in 1887.

The historic downtown district includes early 1900s storefronts, the jailhouse and post office.

The restored Springfield High School, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is now a welcome center, exhibit room and library. The Springfield Museum and the Orangeburg Military Museum are also housed in the building.

Local parks include Frog Jump Park, which has a gazebo and picnic tables, and Bennett Park which has a shelter, grills and playground equipment. There’s also a mile-long greenway where the railroad ran that provides a historic interpretive walking trail through town.

The town holds many events including the Governor’s Frog Jump and Egg Strike (ongoing since 1928), the 4th of July Fireworks Display and the Mayor’s Tree Lighting and Country Christmas Supper.

The Springfield Flea Market is the oldest in the state and has thousands of visitors each weekend.

VANCE Incorporated in 1887, the town of Vance traces its history to 1766 when it was 12

Discover Orangeburg 2024/25

known as Vance’s Ferry. The town is named for Sir William Vance, who built a ferry on the Santee River. The town was moved a few miles from the river because of the mosquito-infested swampland, dropping the “Ferry” from its name as a result.

Access to the Santee Cooper lake is less than five miles away. Locals enjoy renting the PlayGround Pavilion for family reunions and gatherings.

The town prides itself on growing some of the best peaches in South Carolina.

Vance is the birthplace of Mike Williams, a member of the Clemson Tigers National Championship team who currently plays for the New York Jets.

Author and pastor Michael Aiken Sr. lives in the town. His books include “Teaching, Preaching, and Healing are Kingdom Words” and “Such Were Some of You.”

WOODFORD While it’s unknown exactly how the town of Woodford was named, it’s believed that it came about because the railroad was established to load and ship wood.

The Robinson and Gissendanner families gave the land to establish the town in 1891. The town was incorporated officially by popular vote in 1906.

The town has hosted popular events like the Hummingbird Festival and a Grill Master Cook Off. The Woodford Community Center also holds a variety of town events.

Comporium, an internet provider, continues to expand its fiber-optic network in Woodford, which allows residents access to high-speed broadband service.

Take to the Trails Long a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors, Edisto Memorial Gardens resides along the bank of the Edisto River.

Stroll through the site’s award-winning rose garden (in bloom beginning in May) or cross the boardwalk that runs for half a mile through a tupelo-cypress wetland.

For something more challenging, head to

Santee State Park, where a 7.5-mile hiking and mountain-biking trail loops through a pine and hardwood forest on the shore of Lake Marion. One of the park’s shorter trails leads to a sinkhole pond; signs along the way explain how sinkholes formed here as a result of water dissolving surface limestone rock.

Keep a watch out for a wide variety of wildlife as you hike the 3.7-mile loop through the Santee-Cooper Wildlife Management Area. Superimposed on the lands and waters of Lake Marion, the Area forms part of the 15,000-acre Santee National Wildlife Refuge.

For bicyclists, the Edisto Explorer, a flat 14-mile route, runs along the North Fork of the Edisto River from its starting point at Baughman’s Landing. The 23-mile bike trail dubbed the Santee Shuffle begins at Joe Miller Park in Elloree and rolls past farmland, swamps and woodlands.

Into the Woods While deer hunting is king in Orangeburg County in terms of the numbers and size of white-tailed deer found here, the area is also home to some of the best turkey hunting in the state. It’s not unusual for hunters in Orangeburg to bag a wild hog or coyote while in pursuit of other game; as non-native animals, wild hogs and coyotes can both be taken year-round. Throughout the county, you can go after quail on several preserves, and hunt doves on both public and private land. Hunting rabbit and other small game is becoming more popular as well.

Out on the Water One of the longest free-flowing blackwater rivers in the U.S., the Edisto River is a haven for recreation. The Edisto Basin supports 94 ecological communities (not including aquatic communities), which, in turn, harbor protected bird species such as the redcockaded woodpecker, southern bald eagle, and wood stork. Canoers and kayakers can navigate the river’s narrow, winding, upper reaches, while small fishing boats favor the open waters of the Edisto.

GRAND AMERICAN COON HUNT Folks flock to Orangeburg in early January for the annual Grand American Coon Hunt, the largest coon trial run in the nation. Held in Orangeburg County for six decades and counting, the hunt takes advantage of the region’s temperate January climate, which allows hunters and their coon hounds to trek through the area’s woods and marshes without being hindered by snow. thegrandamericanhunt.com A recreational gem, the 62-mile Edisto River Canoe and Kayak Trail traverses the main stem of the Edisto River. The trail flows from Green Pond Church Landing past Colleton State Park, Four Holes Swamp, and Givhans Ferry State Park before reaching its endpoint at Lowndes Landing. Find information on boat landings and river access points at edistofriends.org.

In the eastern end of the county, Lake Marion — the larger of two Santee-Cooper lakes (the smaller one is Lake Moultrie) — ranks as the largest lake in South Carolina.

Along its 315-mile shoreline are a number of boat-rental facilities, plus two ramps at Rocks Pond Marina for private boat access to the lake. Take your rod and reel to the fishing pier at Santee State Park or boat out on the lake to catch largemouth bass, striped bass, and several species of catfish. Anglers might also net black crappie, bluegill, and redear sunfish.

On an eco-boat tour by Fish Eagle Wildlife Tours in Santee, you can discover Lake Marion’s natural and cultural history.

Trips, narrated by an experienced naturalist, interpret the area’s wild flora and fauna, including the cypress trees stranded in the water at the lake’s north end.

SPEND THE NIGHT IN NATURE To truly experience the natural world in Orangeburg County, plan to pitch a tent. Between Santee State Park, Mill Creek Marina and Campground, Rocks Pond Campground & Marina, and others, the area offers more than 1,000 campsites along Lake Marion’s shoreline. For those who prefer more creature comfort, Santee State Park also rents 30 lakeside cabins.

Rising Industrial Powerhouse SOUTH CAROLINA’S SECOND-LARGEST COUNTY CONTINUES TO TRANSFORM ITS ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE Once known for its agricultural and textile roots, Orangeburg County is now forging a bold path as a leader in advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, and technology.

Merle Johnson, executive director of the Orangeburg County Development Commission, says infrastructure development has been key to this transformation. “In the past decade, we’ve expanded from five to 11 industrial parks, all strategically located with direct access to highways, rail, and Charleston’s deepwater port. This infrastructure is the backbone of our success in attracting high-impact projects,” he says.

Orangeburg County’s prime location between Charleston and Columbia, along the Interstate 26 corridor, gives it a distinct advantage in logistics. With direct access to

the Port of Charleston — one of the busiest ports on the East Coast — the county offers businesses unparalleled connectivity to global markets. This, combined with its growing industrial portfolio, has made Orangeburg County a magnet for companies seeking a strategic foothold in the region.

One standout site is the 745-acre Orangeburg Power Site, a shovel-ready industrial site boasting robust utility infrastructure and easy access to major transportation routes like I-26 and I-95.

Johnson explains, “The site is ideal for companies that need to start operations quickly and efficiently, and its proximity to the city hub only adds to its appeal.”

In addition, the county recently completed a $4.5 million project in Western

Orangeburg County Industrial Park, where a 50,000-square-foot speculative building now stands ready to accommodate light manufacturing and distribution. Built on a former sorghum farm, this development represents more than just physical growth — it’s a symbol of Orangeburg County’s commitment to innovation and forwardthinking economic strategies.

BUILDING A FUTURE-READY WORKFORCE While infrastructure forms the foundation of Orangeburg County’s growth, its true strength lies in its people.

The county is home to three prominent educational institutions — South Carolina OrangeburgChamber.com

29

State University, Claflin University, and Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College (OCtech) — with each playing a critical role in developing the workforce of the future.

These schools are not only educating the next generation of professionals but are also actively collaborating with local industries to ensure a pipeline of skilled workers.

“Our universities and technical colleges are critical to developing the talent that companies need,” Johnson says. “From technical training at OCtech to advanced research at South Carolina State and Claflin, these institutions ensure that Orangeburg County remains competitive in industries like advanced manufacturing, agriculture, and technology.”

OCtech, for example, offers South Carolina’s only degreed program in electronic instrumentation, crucial for industries like energy, manufacturing, and health care. The Master Automobile Service Technology program ensures that Orangeburg County produces top-tier professionals in the automotive sector, addressing the state’s growing industrial needs.

At Claflin University, a $17.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Institute of Standards and Technology is funding the development of an Innovation Center for Computer Science and Biotechnology. This center will focus on cutting-edge fields like biosciences, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, providing students with the hands-on experience they need to succeed in these

rapidly growing industries.

Meanwhile, South Carolina State University’s 1890 Research and Extension program continues to lead agricultural innovation. In October 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded SC State a $500,000 Precision Technology Grant for a three-year program using drones to collect data to implement data usage into their farming practices and operations — keeping Orangeburg County’s agricultural roots alive and competitive.

Further supporting this effort, Boeing partnered with the Orangeburg County School District to enhance STEM education through initiatives like the DreamLearners program. This collaboration introduces students to careers in aerospace and advanced manufacturing while providing hands-on learning experiences that inspire future STEM professionals.

Johnson adds, “This collaboration between education and industry is essential for long-term economic growth. By ensuring a pipeline of talent, Orangeburg County is not just meeting today’s workforce demands but preparing for the needs of tomorrow.”

AEROSPACE TAKES FLIGHT: BOEING’S BOLD INVESTMENT A major milestone in Orangeburg County’s industrial evolution came in July 2024, when Boeing expanded its footprint in the county by acquiring two GKN Aerospace facilities. These facilities are crucial in the production of parts for the 787 Dreamliner, 737 MAX and 777X aircraft, making Orangeburg County a vital player in the aerospace supply chain.

This acquisition brought 110 employees into Boeing’s operations and signaled the company’s long-term commitment to the area. Boeing’s decision to invest in Orangeburg County is a testament to the 30

Discover Orangeburg 2024/25

county’s broader strategy to attract aerospace industries, which are increasingly looking to expand domestic production. The aerospace sector is a growing focus for Orangeburg County, aligning with national trends toward reshoring and supply chain resilience.

Beyond job creation, Boeing’s investment also extends into local talent development. The company’s partnership with South Carolina State University is creating internship opportunities and career pathways for students interested in the aerospace industry.

As a result of this partnership, Boeing was named South Carolina State University’s 2024 Employer of the Year.

Orangeburg County is positioning itself as a key player in this rapidly growing sector.

HOUSING GROWTH MATCHES INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION

“Boeing’s presence in Orangeburg County solidifies our role in the global aerospace sector,” Johnson says. “And with their partnership with SC State, we’re also ensuring that local students have a direct path into one of the most competitive industries in the world.”

ORANGEBURG COUNTY’S PUSH FOR SUSTAINABILITY The push for sustainability is another critical element of Orangeburg County’s economic development. Valagro, a global leader in biostimulants and specialty nutrients, is constructing a new facility in the Orangeburg County/City Industrial Park. With an investment of $27 million, the project will create 33 new jobs and serve as a symbol of the region’s commitment to future-ready industries.

In March 2023, Delta Children’s Products — a leading manufacturer of children’s furniture — announced a $33.1 million investment to build a 400,000-squarefoot facility in Orangeburg. This project will create 123 jobs and support the company’s expansion into new categories. “We’re excited about this new project in South Carolina,” Delta Children said in a statement. “This will help us bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and allow us to grow our product lines.”

Husqvarna, a global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, is further reinforcing Orangeburg County’s sustainable development with a $50 million 32

Discover Orangeburg 2024/25

expansion that will create 200 new jobs announced in November 2023. The company is transitioning its production to electric and battery-powered products in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint by 35% by 2025.

This trend of sustainability is reflective of a broader movement within the county, where economic development is increasingly tied to environmentally responsible practices. “Companies like Husqvarna are not only investing in Orangeburg County but also making a commitment to sustainability,” Johnson says. “It’s a win-win for our economy and the environment.”

Orangeburg County’s focus on renewable energy is further solidified by recent investments in solar manufacturing. In March 2023, Hounen Solar USA, a leader in the solar energy industry, announced a $33 million investment to establish its first U.S. manufacturing operations. This project is expected to create 200 jobs and further strengthen Orangeburg County’s position as a hub for renewable energy. As the global demand for clean energy continues to rise,

With the growth of the workforce comes the need for housing and commercial development. The County of Orangeburg is processing permits for more than 3,000 new homes, a crucial step in supporting the county’s industrial expansion and accommodating its rapidly growing population. Providing affordable, convenient housing is critical to sustaining the county’s growth, ensuring that residents can live close to their workplaces.

At the same time, commercial development is booming. Several new restaurants are set to open in the Magnolia Village shopping center on North Road, adjacent to Walmart. These include popular chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Tropical Smoothie Café, Dunkin’ Donuts, Firehouse Subs, and Waffle House.

“We’re seeing a shift,” says Stewart Haig, community development director for county of Orangeburg. “Orangeburg County is no longer just a commuter hub. People want to live and work here, and we’re building the infrastructure to support that.”

By aligning housing development with industrial growth, Orangeburg County is creating a self-sustaining cycle where people can build their lives and contribute to the local economy.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ORANGEBURG COUNTY? As the U.S. manufacturing sector experiences a resurgence in domestic production, Orangeburg County is positioning itself as a key player in reshoring efforts. With continued investments in workforce development, infrastructure, and sustainability, Orangeburg County is poised to remain a leader in South Carolina’s economic future.

“Our success isn’t just about bringing in companies,” Johnson says. “It’s about creating a place where people want to live, work, and invest in the future.

Orangeburg County is more than just an industrial hub — it’s a community on the rise.”

Intentional Learning,

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL From caring, student-focused options for public or private schools, to accelerated career training across a wide spectrum of industries, educational opportunities abound in Orangeburg County Orangeburg County, South Carolina is a magnet for all who are hungry to learn, grow and launch their careers. From smiling elementary school students on the first day of school, to emerging talent or returning students interested in health care, business, mechatronics, truck driving or Christian ministry — the road to a brighter future begins here.

The county is home to four institutions of higher education, a united public school district and several private and Christian schools as well as three charter schools.

This ecosystem of learning provides a rich landscape of opportunities to be inspired, collaborate with others and share resources for success.

That thriving network of educational professionals and facilities isn’t where the road ends for students, however: It is a foundation to propel them further toward their dreams, on a trajectory guided by the visionary leadership of the Orangeburg County School District, which takes a strategic approach to developing a skilled workforce by proactively preparing students for employment post-graduation.

By shifting the paradigm of education from being a product-focused institution to being a solutions-focused institution, students are equipped to graduate high school with not only their diploma, but with an additional skill. For example, OCSD is one of five districts in the state

to serve as a licensed apprenticeship site of Apprenticeship Carolina, a division of the S.C. Technical College System, which is designed to create and strengthen career pathways that enrich the state’s existing workforce. Students who gain this additional experience and validating credentials are distinctly prepared for their chosen fields.

and built lives and businesses that have shaped the region’s character and created a culture of determination and excellence.

The county’s career centers have helped build a strong, workforceready population by expanding career and technology offerings and growing community collaboration in apprenticeship opportunities for students in their junior and senior years.

The district is home to three career centers: Cope Area Career Center in Cope; the Technology Center in Orangeburg; and the Lake Marion Technology Center in Santee. Where a normal classroom might prepare a student to pass a standardized test, these centers are designed to provide supplemental education that can elevate children in the workforce.

In addition to helping fill gaps in the workforce and regional needs — such as construction management, auto tech and certified-nursing programs — the curriculum inside the centers addresses all learning styles and levels of student abilities, resulting in a well-rounded and approachable experience.

Just as tenacity and grit are key to Orangeburg County’s DNA, so is a spirit of resourcefulness, which also plays into initiatives like the career centers. In addition to utilizing state and federal dollars each year to further develop the program offerings, OCSD leadership seeks out and taps existing assets — such as leveraging diesel engines from old school buses in the instruction of one of the most in-demand workforces in the nation: diesel mechanics.

GETTING AHEAD BEFORE GRADUATION:

ORANGEBURG ADVANCED ACADEMY

Imagine how many new doors open to incoming college students when they have earned college credits before they’ve even set foot on their dream campus.

That is just one of many opportunities for students that the OCSD is striving to make not only accessible, but typical— elevating the entire community along with individual student’s potential to succeed.

This is the inspiration behind the Orangeburg Advanced Academy, where the district partners with OCtech’s Early 38

summer classes, the ability to earn an associate degree in arts and/or sciences is on the table, too — an enormous savings for parents, who get to watch their child walk across the stage to accept both a high school diploma and college degree. Add in an apprenticeship certificate, and the student is a star applicant for many of the region’s top manufacturers or employers.

CULTIVATING BRILLIANCE:

MAGNET SCHOOLS

While Orangeburg has always had early college and dual-credit programs for juniors and seniors, what makes the Advanced Academy unique is that opportunities on that same level are now available to ninth-grade students.

College program, offering students a chance to earn college credits and complete a certificate, diploma or degree before they graduate from high school.

While Orangeburg has always had early college and dual-credit programs for juniors and seniors, what makes the Advanced Academy unique is that opportunities on that same level are now available to ninth-grade students.

If elected to take dual-credit courses as freshmen, those students then spend half of their day at their respective high school before they’re transported to OCtech for the rest of their classes. As these students transition to their junior and senior years, they spend the full day at OCtech.

For ambitious students who enroll in

For children who show an early interest in, or aptitude for, a specific subject, the district’s celebrated magnet schools are the perfect opportunity to nurture that student’s genius. Rigorous course work and individualized attention helps prepare these early learners for accelerated growth and a variety of careers later on.

The district is home to four magnet academies: Broadcasting and Journalism Academy (BAJA) at Edisto Elementary; Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Academy at Holly Hill Elementary; Scholars Achieving Investigating and Learning (SAIL) at Mellichamp Elementary; and the Students Taking on the Arts and Gifted Education (STAGE) Academy at Marshall Elementary.

Intentional education extends far beyond the textbook in Orangeburg County. The OCSD mission states, “To help all students develop and discover their person, purpose and platform”; all four charter schools do that by embracing learning across the four A’s: academics, athletics, activities and the arts.

For example, BAJA Academy includes its own broadcast studio where students get a handson feel for how a broadcast is produced.

FROM DAY CARE TO FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Guided by the Early Learning Advisory Council, the district is nurturing students even in the early years, extending resources and curriculum to daycare centers for 2—3 year olds.

Magnet academies excel at helping educators discover a child’s unique academic talents at an early age, before they reach high school, which streamlines and focuses their family’s plan to enhance that child’s gifts from year to year and into higher education through strategic, systematic programs that start as early as kindergarten.

In fact, a recently piloted early literacy program, the Waterford program, has continued to build steam in 4K–second grade classrooms, working to close any possible achievement gaps for children learning to read, and assist teachers in propelling students to success.

Orangeburg is also home to two charter schools, Felton Laboratory School, located on the campus of South Carolina State University; and the High School for Health Professions, which is sponsored by the Limestone Charter Association. An alternative to public education is offered

by Orangeburg Preparatory School, Orangeburg Christian Academy, Wesley Christian Academy and Holly Hill Academy.

Real estate and personal property taxes are due and payable without penalty on or before Jan. 15 of the following calendar year. A 3% penalty is assessed on unpaid taxes Jan. 16, and if taxes are not paid by March 17, they are considered delinquent and an additional penalty of 5% must be added to the total.

• Real estate and personal property tax bills are issued to the owner of record as of Dec. 31 of the prior calendar year.

If a transfer of ownership has occurred, the new owner may be liable for this bill.

• Payment verification inquiries may be directed to the Treasurer’s Office. If your mortgage company is responsible for payment of the bill, verify payment by contacting them.

• If you were 65 years of age or totally disabled on the prior Dec. 31, contact the Orangeburg County Auditor’s Office concerning eligibility requirements for the homestead exemption.

• Questions concerning assessments on boats/motors, aircraft, furniture and fixtures, manufacturing, and other personal property should be directed to the Auditor’s Office.

• If you have sold or otherwise disposed of a vehicle, contact your county auditor before paying a tax bill.

• If you have moved to a county other than Orangeburg, you will need to contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles branch to change your address on your vehicle information and your driver’s license if you have not done so already. If you pay the vehicle tax and register a vehicle and later get a new vehicle in the same tax year, you can transfer your tag to the new vehicle and not pay property taxes on the new vehicle until registration expires or renewal is required. If the vehicle tax bill is not for the vehicle you presently own, you must get a tax bill for the vehicle you want to register from the Orangeburg County Auditor’s Office.

• You may appeal the value of your vehicle by writing to the county auditor before the last day of the month that the tax is due. If your vehicle has mileage or significant damage, which makes it less valuable than the average vehicles of the same make and year, you may appeal the assessed value to the Auditor’s Office before the tax due date (last day of the month).

TAX INFORMATION

TAX TIPS THAT COULD SAVE YOU MONEY Assessable Transfers: Most real estate transfers are considered assessable transfers of interest (see exclusions, South Carolina Code of Laws 12-37-3150). Property with assessable transfer of interest is reappraised and taxed at fair market value for the year following the transfer.

Legal Residence: If you purchased a home or mobile home and resided there during the year, you are entitled to a legal residence rate of 4%. An application must be submitted to the assessor’s office. You are allowed only one legal residence classification.

Agricultural Use Value: All new agricultural property owners must make an application for the agricultural classification for the applicable tax year. Agricultural use expires with the sale or transfer of property. Family transactions are considered transfers. Apply early to ensure your tax bill reflects agricultural use. You must file by Jan. 15 of the following tax year.

Multi-Lot Discount: Written application to the assessor’s office is required by May 1 for any property developer having 10 or more unsold: any property developer have ten or more unsold, unimproved lots within a homogeneous area (subdivision) must make written application for the special, multiple lot discount on the unsold lots, listing each lot to be considered. Applications are available in the assessor’s office.

Jim McClean, County Assessor Orangeburg County Administrative Center, Room 103

Residential Builders/ Developers Exemption: Builders and developers may be eligible for an exemption on spec houses for up to five years. To qualify, the house must be new and unoccupied as of Dec. 31 of the prior year. Also, the builder/developer must file an affidavit with the assessor’s office stating that the house qualifies for the exemption within 30 days of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy and by Jan. 31 of each subsequent tax year.

Property Destroyed by Fire or Torn Down: If buildings on your property have been destroyed by fire or torn down, please provide the assessor’s office with a copy of the fire incident report or building demolition permit showing the date of removal in order for the assessor’s office to remove it from record.

Rollback Taxes on Agricultural Property: Property receiving or formerly having agricultural use value within the last five years, and the use changes to other than agricultural use, will be subject to five years of rollback taxes, according to the South Carolina Code of Laws 1976, Vol. 5 12-43-220 (4). The rollback amount is the difference between the paid reduced agricultural tax assessment over the prior five years and the market value rate. When the ownership changes on the property subject to rollback taxes, the taxes will be billed in the new owner(s) name.

437 Amelia St., Orangeburg, SC 29115

Mobile Homes: The owner of any mobile home purchased, sold, or relocated to Orangeburg County has 15 days to register it with the permitting office.

Before a mobile home is relocated, a moving permit must be secured through the permitting office. Any current owner not receiving a tax bill should also contact the tax assessor’s office. If the buyer fails to register the mobile home, the buyer can be found guilty of a misdemeanor, according to state regulations. Mobile homes will continue to be taxed in the name of the seller until the buyer provides the permitting office with a Form 400 or copy of title showing the ownership transfer. All mobile homes must display a decal sticker. Replacements are available at the permitting office.

Address Changes: All address changes for real property, including mobile homes, must be requested in writing to the assessor’s office at P.O. Box 9000, Orangeburg, SC 29116.

Valuation Reviews: Valuation reviews must be requested in writing to the assessor’s office.
