We’re honored to partner with South Carolina to usher in this new era for Scout. Gov. McMaster is committed to investing in the state’s people, and we plan to bring new opportunities to grow this community of innovators. The world needs more Scouts, and this is an important step in honoring Scout heritage and electrifying its future.

Scout Motors will provide thousands of South Carolinians with previously un-imagined opportunities and prosperity for generations to come. The Palmetto State, with its rich history, superior people, and sterling automotive manufacturing reputation, is the perfect place to re-start this iconic American brand.

This proposed manufacturing facility marks a major milestone in the history of Richland County and the potential for our most significant economic development project to date. This decision represents a transformational breakthrough that would position us at the forefront of the clean energy future while promising to boost the quality of life for residents across our County for generations to come.

The investment of Scout Motors in the Town of Blythewood will have substantial impact on the community, enhancing the quality of life for residents and contributing to the vibrancy of where we live, work, worship, learn and play. As someone who has established roots in the community and is raising a family here, I welcome the Scout Motors family, and I am excited for the future of Blythewood and the State of South Carolina.

We’re excited to be able to partner with the state and the county in attracting this wonderful opportunity for the region. This is what collaboration looks like.

Richland County has spent years laying the groundwork for today’s historic announcement, and we are thrilled that Scout shares our view that this area is the ideal location for a world-class company to plant its flag. With our supportive business development network, vibrant workforce, culture of innovation, and connectivity to key strategic hubs, Richland County has created a strong economic foundation that Scout would be able to build upon in the years to come.
