Apparently Proterra wanted more tax incentives and the county of course gave it to them. Here's the link: http://www.greenvillecounty.org/Coun...0Agreement.pdf It was voted on and approved January 19th by county council. Sounds like a finalization of the deal to me.

I contacted Butch Kirven of Greenville County Council a few weeks ago and asked if GSP had asked the county for any incentives to lure a low-cost carrier to the airport. Guess what his answer was? Sure as heck wasn't yes.

Oh, well.... Glad to see they're at least doing something to lure another good employer to the area!

Excellent. This is the type of employer that not only adds diversity to our growing automotive/alternative fuel cluster, but also provides a potential boon for the area's public transit. It is exciting to think about being Proterra's test market.
