Remember that big Savannah River Site job fair in Columbia? Now there’s one coming to a town near you. There are hundreds of new jobs added because of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The first job fair is June 17th in Barnwell at the Primary School, from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m., in the afternoon. The second is June 24th at USC-Salkehatchie in Allendale, SC…also from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.  Both events will be preceded with a town hall meeting at noon.

Savannah River Site is set to get more than a billion dollars for projects that’ll produce an estimated 3,000 jobs over two-and-a-half year period. WJBF News Channel 6’s Paige Tucker has more.
