Letter From the Governor of 
South Carolina

GREETINGS

On behalf of the State South Carolina, welcome to the Columbia area and the Palmetto State.  Whether you are just visiting or have chosen to make South Carolina your home, we are glad that you are here.

With its central location, business-friendly environment, and variety of cultural and recreational opportunities, the Columbia area is a great place to live, work and play.  While local attractions like Riverbanks Zoo and Congaree National Park, and the traveling conveniences of three major interstates and the Columbia Metropolitan Airport give Columbia big city appeal, visitors and residents still enjoy the warm hospitality and Southern charm that make the Capitol city unique.

The amazing natural beauty and unsurpassed quality of life you’ll find here in South Carolina have made our state a repeat destination point for travelers from all over the world. Whether it’s our pristine beaches, scenic lakes, mountain vistas or world-class golf courses, South Carolina has something for everyone.

I’m pleased to join fellow South Carolinians in thanking you for your interest in the Palmetto State. We hope your family and your business will explore the many unique features the Midlands area has to offer. Take care.

Sincerely,

 
Mark Sanford
Governor
State of South Carolina
