A United-Kingdom-based manufacturing firm has designs on creating 49 new jobs over the next five years in Dorchester County thanks to an estimated $2.1 million investment.
Dennis Eagle, Inc. announced plans to expand its Summerville facility — located at 104 G Pinnacle Way — via a Dec. 13 press release.
The Terberg Environmental Group subsidiary is a manufacturer of garbage collection vehicles designed to enhance driver, passenger and pedestrian safety through the addition of low-entry cabins and large windshields that decrease blind spots.
The release noted that the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to this project. The council also green-lighted a $200,000 "Set-Aside" grant to Dorchester County to help shoulder the expense of building improvements.

Dorchester County Council Chairman Bill Hearn was particularly grateful for the company's investment in the community.
“Dorchester County congratulates Dennis Eagle, Inc. on their recent expansion, and we appreciate the additional investment and jobs it will bring. We thank Dennis Eagle, Inc. for their ongoing confidence in our county and send our best wishes for continued success," said Hearn.
Also commenting on the news was Gov. Henry McMaster, who added: “Congratulations to Dennis Eagle, Inc. on this achievement. We are happy to support this new leg of their South Carolina journey and look forward to the impact their expansion will have on Dorchester County and the state as a whole.”
