Ty Davenport, Director of Economic Development at the Orangeburg County Development Commission (OCDC), introduced intern Alyssa Davis Hudson and described her contributions to county economic-development projects, particularly data gathering for industrial-park water and sewer needs.
"I walked into her office... I said, I think we need to get a spreadsheet put together of all this data. She said, well, I've already done that," Davenport said, adding that the office is short-staffed and the intern has been ‘‘a fantastic asset.’’
Alyssa Davis Hudson, a senior in the engineering program at South Carolina State University and OCDC summer intern, said she is working on data collection and site plans for the county's industrial parks. Council members thanked her for the work and encouraged her to consider staying in Orangeburg County after graduation; no formal hiring commitment was announced on the record.
