A GOOD Reason to stay

equestRIAns thRIve In KeRshAw county
stoRy by Renee eldeR
oxhunting brought Janice Coley to Kershaw County, but it was the enthusiasm of the community that made her want to stay. As publisher of The Camden Equestrian, board member of the South Carolina Equine Promotion Foundation and Secretary for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation South Carolina Committee, Coley is immersed in a network of horse enthusiasts. Yet just five years ago Coley was a resident of Charlotte, leading the fast-paced life of a successful advertising executive. My mother often told me I lived too fast, and finally I realized
she was right, Coley says. In 2003 I bought a horse, Kirby, who became my best friend and changed my life. A new home in camden In addition to participating with Kirby in hunts and equestrian activities around Charlotte, Coley made the hour-long drive once or twice a week to hunt and ride the trails in Camden. In the spring of 2006, she decided to stay. I liked the informality of a small town, she says, the pace is slower, and you can take time to get to know people. After living in Camden for a year, Coley realized the depth of
the areas equine heritage. Its not a rural area with some horse farms scattered about; it is a true horse town, which has supported jobs and businesses for decades. The stories are endless and new ones are being made every day. the camden equestrian Coley conceived the idea of publishing a magazine that would celebrate the community and its unique place in the equine industry. The Camden Equestrian, a full-color, high-quality glossy magazine was born, sharing stories and promoting business. Bringing people together is what its all about. Business owners
Janice Coley is publisher of The Camden Equestrian, board member of the south Carolina Equine promotion Foundation and secretary for the thoroughbred retirement Foundation south Carolina Committee.
know their customers by name and care about their interests. Readers from 14 states subscribe to The Camden Equestrian to keep in touch with the areas training, hunting, showing and other horserelated activities. Although Coley lost her best friend Kirby this year, another horse soon turned up out of the blue, she says. He is a beautiful Thoroughbred off the track, and Im sure Kirby is happy that I have a new friend. Thoroughbred training facilities
like The Camden Training Center bring in hundreds of Thoroughbred racehorses each year. The footing and climate is great for horses. Camden has arguably the finest training facilities in the country, Coley says. The South Carolina Equine Park, the National Steeplechase Museum, Springdale Race Course and the Camden Equine Rehabilitation & Conditioning Center draw people here, further contributing to the quality of life.
Coley enjoys living on her small horse farm and running her equine-themed business, which promotes the area for others to enjoy. I would encourage anyone to consider Kershaw County. Our area is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, a large historic district, festivals, shopping and dining. There is always something to do, even if it is sitting in the barn smelling the hay.
... camden has arguably the finest training facilities in the country.
janice coley moved here from charlotte in 2006 and founded the Camden equestrian, a magazine that keeps readers in touch with the areas many horse-related activities.

sk companies like Target and Kawashima Textiles why they chose Kershaw County as a place to do business, and their answers will include several factors. A skilled workforce, excellent transportation infrastructure, proximity to the state capital of Columbia and low operating costs will probably be among the reasons. But most important, Kershaw County was ready ready to work. That is why Southeast Renewable Energy announced in late 2010 that it is constructing a $50 million biomass plant in Kershaw County that

stoRy by lAuRA KImbAll | PhotoGRaPhy by todd bennett
will ultimately hire 20 employees. The plant is scheduled to open in late 2012. Ready, set, go As an active participant in the states readySC program, Kershaw County is ready to seamlessly start up new facilities, identify company needs and train local workers to meet the challenges of evolving industries in a changing world. The readySC program acts as an outsourced human resources department, at little or no cost to the company, by recruiting and advertising, developing a relevant curriculum and
educating trainers and potential new workers. ReadySC has trained 1,655 workers at companies in Kershaw County, including Advanced Performance Tech, BlueCross BlueShield, DANA Corp., Hardwicke Chemical, Heritage Embroidery, Kawashima Textiles, Target and Veratec. Regionally speaking Meanwhile, on a more regional level, the Central SC Alliance, a group of 10 counties and one city in the heart of the state, pools assets to attract capital investment and jobs. In addition, Central Carolina Technical College in Camden/Sumter and Midlands Technical College in Columbia offer industrial training and occupational education to workers in Kershaw County through their continuing education programs and credit courses. Automotive Assets All these efforts have a tangible economic result, as Kershaw County is home to a small but growing base of automotive-related manufacturers. Kawashima Textiles USA makes car seat fabric, South Carolina Yutaka Technologies manufactures catalytic converters, and Dana Corporation produces trailer modules. Other area companies are the source for products such as aluminum wheels, filter elements and more. location thats Right on target Since these products must be able to reach consumers quickly, another reason for choosing the area as a home base is location. Kershaw County is located halfway between New York and Miami, and is within 24-hour ground access to more than 70 percent of the U.S. market. These logistics affect the Target Distribution Center, which has more than 40 acres under one roof and recently underwent a $70 million expansion to become the retailers largest distribution center in the U.S. It serves Target
stores in the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia, which are all easily accessible from the nearby interstate system. growing service sector Kershaw County seeks to continue growing its industry by targeting the business services sector, which includes call centers, corporate offices, claims and processing centers, and more. One of the latest developments to recruit these types of businesses is a virtual call center spec building in Wateree Executive Park, which consists of virtual plans for a 60,000-square-foot building made available to companies for review. Without the costly investment of bricks and mortar, Kershaw County is able to offer new businesses a tangible site, complete with a 3-D video of the virtual building. When a business decides to call the building home, construction of a shell building can be completed in 90 days or less.

ne of the most historic buildings in all of south carolina now houses the kershaw county chamber of commerce & visitors center. the old Robert mills courthouse in downtown camden was constructed in 1825 and then expanded in 1845, and the building was designed by architect Robert mills who also designed the Washington monument. mills is also responsible for several other landmark structures in south carolina and the southeast. it is interesting being headquartered in a building that dates back to before the civil War, says Liz horton, executive director of the kershaw county chamber of commerce & visitors center. the building served as kershaw countys courthouse until 1906, when a new courthouse was built on the location of the present day courthouse. the mills building went through a number of different owners until the chamber bought it in 1999. horton says the chamber has been in the building since the mid-2000s, with offices on the first floor of the two-story structure. When youre in a building this old, funds are always needed for upkeep and restoration, and to date, nearly $1.5 million has been spent on restoring the building back to its 1845 condition, she says. in fact, we just recently received another grant and have spent $40,000 for additional renovations, replacing tile and restoring floors throughout the structure.
purchased bricks to highlight their special event. the courthouse is easily accessible off interstate 20 at exit 98, en route to the downtown district of camden. being such an old building, visitors like to stop in and see the facility itself before picking up brochures that detail other attractions throughout the community, horton says. the building has been restored with modern conveniences, but still has its charm. you wont see many 1825 buildings equipped with wireless internet, but this one is. Kevin Litwin
$100 bricks
horton says most of the upgrades have been paid for by grants and private donations, and a brick Walkway program is also in place with commemorative bricks installed and engraved along the promenade in front of the courthouse. bricks sell to the public for $100 apiece and can be in honor of someone who has passed away, or to commemorate an event or a variety of other reasons, she says. this old courthouse hosts a lot of weddings, and several brides and grooms have

With the smoke from campfires filling the air, random shots of musket fire crackling from across the field, and soldiers and civilians going about their daily duties in period attire, you begin to believe youre truly living in the time of the Revolutionary War. of course, its the concession stand selling pizza that brings you back to the present day. for more than 40 years, the historic camden Revolutionary War site in camden, sc, has held its annual Revolutionary War field days. around 500 reenactors have besieged camden to recreate skirmishes between continental and british forces. everything from encampments to artillery demonstrations, even a period fashion show, litter the 100-plus acres of the historic site
