There has been lots of news of late about Amazon expanding in the Upstate of South Carolina. The Greenville County Council voted to approve the fee in lieu tax incentive to give them a break for the next 10 years as long as they do what they say they are going to do.
It’s expected that the warehouse will employ more than 200 people. The Post & Courier is reporting that Amazon will spend more than $47.5MM on the project. I don’t know if that includes the $12,638,960 to purchase the land.
I happened to be going through some closed sales information and saw that Amazon closed on the 104 acre parcel located just outside the City of Fountain Inn’s city limits. It’s right off of I-385 and Fairview Road Extension. It’s a great location. I’m not sure what the plans are to possibly modify that exit and entrance ramp there but it needs some help. It’s almost like it’s an after thought. I was down there the other day at 4pm and it sure seemed like a great place for possible accidents on the interstate as people try to take that short little exit that is often congested at that time of day.
