SUMTER, S.C. — Nova Molecular Technologies, a solvent recovery and recycling plant, will bring 25 new jobs to Sumter when it opens next week. Over the next 8-10 years, it will continue to develop and bring up to 75 jobs to the area. "It's a huge shot in the arm for Sumter's economy anytime we have an announcement like this," Chris Hardy with the Sumter Chamber of Commerce explained. "We just hope that now that the pandemic is somewhat behind us, we can have more of these as time goes on." Not only will it provide more jobs, Hardy explains, "but it will also include higher paying jobs, which is better for Sumter's overall economy and our average median household income and so on and so forth, which has a domino effect on so many other things.
