1. County courthouse and city/county municipal complex
If you ve driven down Daniel Morgan Avenue lately, you ve probably seen the big crane and progress on the Spartanburg County courthouse project. The parking deck and nearby central energy plant will be completed by June 30, 2021, Britt said.
After the courthouse is complete, a new joint city/county municipal building will be built as part of the same project funded by a penny sales tax.
Britt said the courthouse and new municipal complex will be a good adrenaline spurt for downtown merchants. It ll make it so much more walkable for our associates at the county and in the city. And it will be a big complex.
Gene Pitts said he finally decided to speak out after noticing that Michelin and Milliken were getting extended tax breaks from Spartanburg County.
Pitts, director of operations at Marchel Industries in Spartanburg, said he s long wondered why smaller companies that pay the standard 10.5 percent property tax rate couldn t get the 6 percent rate that Michelin, Milliken and a host of other large companies get. I understand why we do it. We need big business here, Pitts, whose injection molding company was founded in 1992 and employs 34 people, told Spartanburg County Council earlier this month. My question is, are there any plans to make these kinds of tax breaks and incentives more equally available to small business owners who have operated and supported Spartanburg County long-term?
