Horry County economic developers know they have a formidable opponent in their quest to lure Connecticut firearms manufacturers to South Carolina.

The targets, firearms manufacturers PTR Industries and Stag Arms, are both in the sights of the two states.

At stake are 308 jobs -- some of which would be filled locally -- the chance to become a magnet for other disaffected firearms manufacturers and a logical place for their suppliers to set up operations, bringing even more jobs.

Area Development put Texas in the top spot for access to capital and project funding, speed of permitting, corporate tax environment, incentive programs and cost of doing business. South Carolina topped Texas only in the corporate state government category, where South Carolina was No. 2 and the Longhorn State was pegged No. 4.

Millions to spend

Indeed, Texas’ economic development website – texaswideopenforbusiness.com – lists a plethora of ways the state will financially help new and expanding businesses.

Just one of those ways, the Texas Enterprise Fund, has since 2004 given businesses more than $450 million to create 192,478 new jobs, according to the website. There are a number of other multi-million dollar funds that can funnel money to local economic developers, set up low interest loans for new and expanding businesses and other things.

South Carolina, whose economic development website is sccommerce.com, does not make the same kind of large cash payments to lure businesses or help them expand. It offers tax credits for job creation, but puts the lion’s share of its economic development money in grants to counties to develop or improve infrastructure.

Texas also has the enthusiastic persona of Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican primary candidate for president in 2012, who has been unabashed in his desire to have firearms manufacturers in his state.

When PTR Industries said on its website that it planned to move from Connecticut, Perry was quick to issue a public statement that he wanted the company in Texas. He also introduced himself to Stag Arms’ CEO Mark Malkowski at a gun convention and issued a personal invitation for him to visit the state.

“Gov. Perry is very persuasive,” Malkowski said.

Malkowski has already been to Houston and is planning to visit the Grand Strand soon. Lofton said he will invite Gov. Nikki Haley and U.S. Rep. Tom Rice, R-Horry County, to join in the welcome.

Haley refused to say if she will accept the invitation in questions emailed to her spokesman by The Sun News. She also wouldn’t say anything about how South Carolina could mess with Texas in economic development.
