Greenville loses another locally based bank.  Not a big one, but another loss.

 

http://www.gsabusiness.com/news/47618-bankgreenville-merges-with-n-c-bank?rss=0

"Loses" I believe is the wrong word choice. The bank is not leaving or disappearing. It only got acquired by a bigger bank. Something that most small banks desire to happen. Beyond that BankGreenville was not performing at a block buster level, and their contributions to the community are minimal. So I don't see how this is a bad thing.

From the article:

At the same time, the company is pledging it won't cut Bausch + Lomb's North American sales force. It also says it will not close any U.S. manufacturing sites. Bausch + Lomb has plants in Rochester; Tampa, Fla.; St. Louis; Greenville, S.C.; and Waterford, Ireland.

Cant find it in the Gville News right now, but BMW will build a new export hub building near the inland port.

There's a story on WSPA's web site. "BMW plans to move their export location from the current site in Duncan to the new inland port in Greer." http://www.wspa.com/story/23336188/bmw-moving-export-location-to-greer-inland-port

The South Carolina National Guard and Greenville Technical College are planning to construct two additional buildings worth $26 million in conjunction with the Greenville Army Aviation Support Facility at the SCTAC.

 

 

Together, the three facilities at the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center will give Greenville a major role in helicopter training, vehicle maintenance and disaster response.

While company officials have remained tight-lipped about the details, new documents filed with the county might shed some light on part of the automaker's plans.

According to site plans filed with the county, BMW will add a new 675,000-square-foot body shop. The facility will be next to the plant's existing west body shop.

The plans included a drawing for a future energy center adjacent to the new building. They also showed an addition of 371 spaces to its associate parking lot C behind the west body shop. The plant's website said about 450 team members are required to build a complete car body.

A new entrance providing direct access to the plant from Interstate 85 via Brockman-McClimon Road will be added, according to site plans. The entrance will tie in with an existing road on the plant's property — originally an extension of Deyoung Road — that will be rerouted around the new body shop.

Plans also show the addition of a 4,200-square-foot analysis center and a relocation of the plant's construction contractor yard to a site at Brockman-McClimon Road and Highway 101.
