Aline Capital’s own Chris Schweighart, MBA attended this morning’s Greenville Area Development Corporation (GADC) panel discussion about Greenville County’s Economic Development. After this morning’s productive and educational panel, Chris wanted to share some of his main takeaways with our followers. Here are some key stats that were shared: 1) 85 people a day are moving to the Upstate region, with about 45% of them coming to Greenville County; 2) the average age for the people moving here is 32, which means there are lots of families with young kids; 3) there is a mass migration into the Sun Belt, with four states in particular (SC, NC, TX, and FL) being the most popular destinations over the past couple of years. Currently, our area’s biggest challenges are the low inventory of industrial properties (the 10k to 50k SF size range was the most requested last year), usable land, and lack of affordable housing along with the lack of adequate infrastructure.? As a native Californian who moved his family to Greenville County about five years ago, Chris can attest to the region's attractiveness as a beautiful place to live and work.?Chris also leads our industrial brokerage division, and he sees the demand for small warehouse spaces first-hand.?If your company is considering moving to Greenville County, or is already operating here but looking to expand, please reach out to Chris or his associate Sam Faulkenberry to tap into their expertise...they would love to help your firm find a new industrial property to purchase or lease. As proud investors in the GADC, Aline Capital supports their efforts to recruit manufacturing and distribution companies to our region.
