I was going through some recent sales and saw that EnerSys Gigafactory LLC just closed on 321 acres in the Upstate. I found this press release and I’m sure there are several other news storage out there regarding this. The press release says between the state and Greenville County, they got $200MM in incentives to come build here. They plan on a state of the art 500,000 square foot facility that will bring about 500 jobs. Here’s another article about the proposed factory.
South Carolina appears to be a key destination for many of these giant batter facilities as we’ve seen with other deals. The South Carolina Department of Commerce are excellent business deal makers and there are lots of excellent economic development groups in South Carolina that also help.
