LCI-Lineberger Construction, Inc. (LCI), a heavy highway and civil contractor, has announced plans to expand its operations in Lancaster County, South Carolina with a $10 million investment that will create 30 new jobs.
“We are amazingly blessed with this opportunity and wish to thank the S.C. Department of Commerce, Lancaster County, Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, and First Citizens Bank for their assistance!” said LCI President Kim Lineberger.
Founded in 1995, LCI specializes in road construction and site development, serving customers across North Carolina and South Carolina. The company, based in Lancaster, currently employs more than 100 people.
The expansion will include the construction of a new asphalt plant adjacent to LCI’s existing facility at 1490 Kershaw Camden Highway. This new plant will produce asphalt for LCI’s paving projects, as well as for state and local municipalities and other contractors. Operations are expected to begin in January 2025.
The State Coordinating Council for Economic Development has awarded a $100,000 set-aside grant to Lancaster County to assist with costs related to road and water improvements.
“LCI-Lineberger’s decision to expand operations in Lancaster County reflects their confidence in South Carolina’s strong business climate and skilled workforce. We are proud to see LCI continuing to thrive in Lancaster County and look forward to the impact this investment will have in our state,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
