South Carolina’s growth continues onward as more companies are finding it’s a great place to do business and it offers their employees a good quality of life with generally lower costs of living. But a big driver here in South Carolina is that it’s in an awesome location for supply chain and distribution.

Greenville of couse is in the Upstate which is about 3.5 hours from Charleston. South Carolina is very fortunate to have the Port of Charleston but also a network of inland ports where trainloads of boxcars are sent across the state to these various inland ports. Inland Port Greer plays a critical role in supporting the manufacturing base so prevalent here in the Upstate expecially with the likes of BMW and Michelin.

Inland port growth continues and they keep adding capacity. If you are looking for a new home to operate your business, you really should consider South Carolina. It’s a great place to live, work and recreate!

My main work is helping commercial building owners and real estate investors save money on their income taxes by doing cost segregation. I work all over the U.S. but have a lot of clients here in SC and in the southeast in particular. The firm I represent is CSSI, LLC. I love the work! I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
