Florence County Economic Development Partnership is a government administration entity focused on economic development for Florence County in South Carolina. Established on January 1, 1999, it emerged as a private-public collaboration between Florence County Council and the private organization Florence County Progress, Inc. The governance structure includes a 30-member Partnership Board whose members are appointed by the County Council and elected by Progress members, reflecting a formal joint effort to guide the county's development strategy. The Partnership concentrates on attracting new business and industry to the region while supporting the growth and expansion of existing local companies. Progress serves as the private sector arm created in the 1980s to back the publicly funded program and to promote activities aimed at improving the county's economic climate for business and industry.  It serves local businesses as well as potential investors seeking to locate or expand operations in Florence County, positioning itself at the intersection of government administration and regional development. Located in Florence, South Carolina, the organization operates with a small team focused on a broad economic development mandate. In late November 2025, FCEDP announced the appointment of Josh McDaniel as Project Manager, marking a concrete recent personnel development.
