• Tariffs Are Moving the Needle for Manufacturing, Distribution Demand on the I-85 Industrial Corridor (rebusinessonline.com) — A massive new Speedway Business & Technology Park is planned on the former Greenville Pickens Speedway site in Easley, with room for up to 4 million square feet of industrial space and an initial $100 million phase backed by a $28.5 million construction loan. The project is part of a broader manufacturing and logistics boom along the I-85 corridor, which is drawing major companies and jobs to the Upstate despite higher construction costs and tariff-related uncertainty.
