The "Monster" is coming and along with it a $28 million dollar investment and 750 jobs for Florence 
County, SC. Plans were announced today by Monster World Wide South Carolina, Inc. to build a customer service facility in Florence County. Out of 3600 initial site possibilities, Florence County was chosen as the site for the facility. According to Monster's vice president Art O'Donnell "Florence is an ideal choice for us because it's a rapidly developing labor market with the talent we'll need to bring best-in-class service to our customers. "The investment will definitely bring a boost to the county and especially to the real estate market. More jobs mean more home buyers. Monster's plans are to open in September in a temporary facility with 350 employees until the permanent facility is built. Within five years the company plans on having 750 employees in the customer service center. So watch out Florence County, the "Monster" is coming!
Teresa - My congratulations to Florence County on what must have been a great recruitment effort!
Yes it was over a year in the making and with all of the talk of recession in the economy is certainly is welcome news.
