Gov. Sanford praises SC's lumber efforts

(Myrtle Beach-AP) Nov. 5, 2004 - Governor Mark Sanford says people who work in the lumber and forestry industries are the "unsung heroes of economic development" in South Carolina.

Sanford made the comments at the South Carolina Forestry Association's annual summit on Thursday.

He says the industry, which is the third-largest in the state, has strengthened its competitive advantage by clustering, or grouping, similar businesses and industries in the same area.

Sanford says clustering is working for the forestry industry just as it is working for the automotive industry in the Upstate and tourism along the coast.
