Greenville SC Business News

The Greenville County economy is anchored by Tire & Rubber Manufacturing, Automotive Supply Chain, and Aerospace & Defense, with leading employers including Prisma Health, Greenville County Schools, Michelin North America, and Bon Secours St. Francis Health System.

Transportation corridors including I-85, I-385, I-185 (Southern Connector); air access through Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) and Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU); maritime access via Inland Port Greer.

From the neighborhoods and communities of Downtown / Main Street, West End, North Main, Augusta Road, Cleveland Park to the campuses of Furman University, Bob Jones University, Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research, the Upstate economy spans manufacturing, services, hospitality, healthcare, and small-business growth.
