Michelin’s $270 million Upstate distribution center to be linked to Port of Charleston - Post and Courier
Michelin North America is moving ahead with plans to build a $270 million distribution center near Spartanburg that will move tires to retailers regionally and between the Port of Charleston via the State Ports Authority’s inland port in Greer, company officials said Monday.
Construction is expected to begin later this year with the first phase opening by late 2017 and the full center completed by early 2019. The center will include five buildings totaling 3.3 million square feet and will handle Michelin, BFGoodrich and Uniroyal branded tries for passenger vehicles, heavy trucks and agriculture equipment. The center ultimately will create about 350 jobs.
It will be built near the intersection of S.C. Highways 101 and 417, a few miles south of Interstate 85.
