Without unions, SC is an easy choice for manufacturers

With Boeing coming to North Charleston, and now Proterra coming to the Upstate, call it “trimming the fat” or just realizing what Wal-Mart has proclaimed for years, unions are not the way to go. Either way, these high-tech companies are leading the charge for others to relocate here to South Carolina.

Proterra Inc., which develops and assembles fuel cell hybrid-powered transit vehicles, has announced that it will locate a facility for R&D and assembly of its products at CU-ICAR here in Greenville.

Land Rush: Swamp Rabbit Trail sections are selling now!

the Swamp Rabbit Trail logoWe have plenty of ‘green space’ here in the Upstate, and now you can ‘own’ a section of the Swamp Rabbit trail for yourself or a loved one.

You can help build and maintain the growing Greenville County Greenways network by purchasing a 25′ section of the GHS Swamp Rabbit trail for $25.00.

For your tax-deductible support, you will receive a certificate of ownership listing the exact GPS coordinates of your section(s). The Greater Greenville Parks Foundation site assures us that 90% of the monies received will be used to directly mobilize public support and financial resources for public parks, trails, and recreational opportunities in our community.
