North and South Carolina are booming when it comes to commercial and residential development. As a relative newcomer here in the Upstate, it’s incredible to see the amount of investment companies are making to expand their operations or to establish and build new facilities in South Carolina. Many people are just picking up and moving here as well regardless of their employment situation. The growth here was happening before Covid, but now seems to be accelerating.

The Carolina Business Review is an excellent show produced by PBS and covers business, development and public policy affecting North and South Carolina. The video provided below is a good episode interviewing several individuals involved in various aspects of development in the Carolinas. It is a very bullish outlook and it does seem that bullishness prevails throughout the region. Areas that might cause a hiccup in the outlook include lack of skilled labor, materials cost / supply and the inability or unwillingness of local juristictions to either keep up or get ahead when it comes to infrastructure – roads, bridges, water, sewer, schools etc.
