Representative Russell Fry (SC-7) has publicly criticized and even memed the IRA. But Fry has praised Envision AESC’s new battery gigafactory in his District’s Florence County that is supported by IRA investments and incentives. He called the project the county’s “largest economic development announcement ever” and “exciting news for the Pee Dee!”
