Biography

Morgan Crapps works with corporate clients to find optimal locations for their entry, expansion, or relocation in North America. She also negotiates and structures incentive agreements with state and local governments. Morgan frequently advises companies on manufacturing, distribution, office, and development projects and has significant experience working with global businesses to facilitate foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States. Morgan previously worked for a midsize law firm as an attorney in the economic development and international arenas, where her practice focused on tax and incentives.* Prior to that, Morgan worked at the South Carolina Department of Commerce, both as a project manager in global business development and as senior manager of international strategy and trade. In these roles, she was responsible for recruiting companies from around the world to South Carolina and streamlining their investment projects to create jobs and bring investment to the state. Her past experiences and the relationships she has built in the public and private sectors give Morgan a 360-degree view of site selection and incentive negotiation, particularly when complex issues arise. Her organized and diligent approach, combined with her knowledge of economic development and FDI, allow her to be a strong advocate and achieve results for her clients.
