Richland County and fiberglass products manufacturer China Jushi will break ground Dec. 8 for a $300 million plant expected to create 400 jobs. The ceremony is set for 10:30 a.m.
The company, headquartered in Zhejiang, China, announced in May that it would establish its first U.S. fiberglass manufacturing operation in the county’s Pineview Industrial Park near I-77. The firm in 2012 established a distribution center in Columbia, at 901 Idlewilde Blvd.
