Earlier this week, StoneWorks, Inc., an interior craftsmanship company, announced plans to expand its operations in Port Royal. The $3.2 million investment is projected to create 21 new jobs in Beaufort, according to a release by the S.C. Department of Commerce.

Serving the coastal regions of South Carolina, StoneWorks, Inc. is a leading source for marble, granite, stone, quartz and tile products for use in countertops, fireplaces, kitchens and bathrooms.

As a part of StoneWorks, Inc.โ€™s expansion, the company will be relocating to a new 37,000-square-foot facility at 779 Robert Smalls Parkway in Port Royal to assist with increasing consumer demand.

โ€œWe have been doing business in Beaufort County for more than 30 years and couldnโ€™t be more pleased to announce our companyโ€™s expansion,” said Stoneworks owner John Baltzegar.

“We love the people here, we love the way of life and we love doing business here.”

“In Beaufort County, we want companies to know that we are open for business,” said Beaufort County Councilman Brian Flewelling.

The expansion is expected to be completed by spring 2020. Individuals interested in joining the StoneWorks, Inc. team should visit https://www.hiltonheadstone.com/ for more information.
