(Whitmire, SC)— ENVIRO AgScience, Inc. (ENVIRO) joined the United States Department of Agriculture’s Forest Agency and local elected officials for an open house at Enoree Ranger Station on Saturday, May 2, 2015.

The open house was a public event and ENVIRO turned over the building to the Enoree Ranger District officials. The Enoree Ranger Station is located in the Sumter National Forest in Whitmire, South Carolina. The construction project of the Enoree administrative facility, known as Indian Creek Office, consisted of renovating and expanding the facility into a 7,500 square foot office building to accommodate full district staff. ENVIRO utilized several local trade contractors to complete work on the building.

Enoree Ranger Station is the second project that ENVIRO has built for the US Forest Service in South Carolina. In 2011, ENVIRO completed the Francis Marion Ranger Station in Huger, SC. That project received LEED® Silver Certification by the USGBC.  The Enoree Station is finalizing Green Globes® Certification.  Both buildings were completed under a competitive small business IDIQ in the US Small Business Administration 8(a) Business Development Program.
