The Caroline County Board of Supervisors is pleased to announce the successful recruitment of Sisson Excavating, Inc. to Caroline County.

Sisson is expanding operations from Fredericksburg, Virginia into Caroline to take advantage of Caroline’s favorable tax, cost and pro- business environment. Sisson has purchased 129 acres off of Rt. 207 at Coleman’s Mill Road to create an industrial park that will house their investment and provide space for future business recruitment. Known as Shamrock Industrial Park, prospective buyers can view the site on the Caroline County web site, www.visitcaroline.com and clicking to “Economic Development” and then “Available Properties”.

Sisson Excavation, Inc. will construct buildings and improve the site for operations and invest in heavy machinery in Caroline. Investment is approximately $3 Million. Sisson will hire 10-12 employees initially.

Sisson Excavation is owned by Mr. Perry Sisson. Mr. Sisson plans future expansion of operations on the site. Mr. Sisson was quoted of the development process in Caroline, “ After searching for a Business friendly environment with great potential for future growth, Caroline County seemed to fit the bill.”

“The working atmosphere made us very comfortable,” said Mr. Sisson. “Meeting with…the Board of Supervisors was a refreshing experience…[the Board was] willing not only to protect their constituents, but, also have a vision for county needs.”

Caroline County looks forward to a long and prosperous relation with Sisson Excavating, Inc. and will market their industrial site for additional business recruitment in the future.
