Florence County's strategic location at the intersection of I-95 and I-20 has shaped its economic identity as the Pee Dee region's commercial center. Originally a railroad junction, Florence evolved into a retail and healthcare hub serving northeastern South Carolina.
McLeod Health has grown from a single hospital into a regional healthcare system employing thousands. Francis Marion University provides a steady pipeline of graduates. The I-95 corridor attracts logistics, distribution, and hospitality businesses.
Today, Florence County serves as the go-to destination for retail, healthcare, and professional services for a multi-county area. The combination of highway accessibility, healthcare employment, and agricultural roots creates a diverse business ecosystem.
