C. Grant Jackson, who was the business editor and later the business columnist for The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., is leaving the paper to take a job at the local chamber of commerce.

“‘Like many in this region, I moved here from someplace else and discovered a sense of place and a quality of life that is bursting with potential,’ said Jackson, a 58-year-old Florida native. ‘I truly believe that together we can build the first great Southern community of the new millennium.’
“Jackson led The State’s business section when it was twice named Best In Business by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers.”
