Autumn Timber LLC plans to purchase land from Dorchester County

Dorchester County Council has approved tax incentives, a water-service agreement and a land deal to a business that’s proposing to invest $510 million, but the plans for the property or how many jobs it will bring to an industrial park west of Summerville has not been disclosed.

John Truluck, the county’s economic development director, said the company behind Autumn Timber is working through some final “regulatory issues.” He hopes it will be ready to disclose its identity and plans by the end of the month.
