Growth in York County - Freightliner
York County Council annouced last month that Freightliner is moving a corporate headquarters office to western York County. They'll be building an office park on Hands Mill Road (Hwy 274) near Allison Creek on Lake Wylie. This move will relocate over 300 families, and ultimately employ 2500 people in the area.
This development is a first for western York county, an office park development unlike anything else in the area. Cresent Resources owns quite a bit of property along Highway 274, and reportedly has plans for mixed uses of the properties, including office and industrial parks.
According to a recent article in The Herald, economic developers have suggested that housing demand could increase between Lake Wylie, York, and Clover due to this move. Shopping centers, housing, and other projects will contribute to further growth.
Recent "blog" traffic suggests that those relocating are already exploring housing options. Inquiries are being made regarding neighborhoods offering homes in the $300-$450m range. This will further fuel the real estate growth we've seen in the area in recent years.
Beginning in summer 2008, Freightliner will operate out of a temporary office off Gold Hill Road in Fort Mill, until the permanent space is constructed. The office space construction is likely to coincide with the planned widening of Highway 274.
So folks, watch for the orange and white barrels - - coming our way soon!
