Established in 1998, Westgate Industrial Park is strategically
located near the Interstate-85 corridor between the major metropolitan areas
of Greenville/Spartanburg, S.C. and Charlotte, N.C.
Close access to both Interstates 85 and 77 creates a
transportation system where some 225 trucking firms can access 72
percent
of the nation's industrial markets within a
two-day drive.
Over 550 scheduled flights per day with direct connections to Europe
from Charlotte Douglas International Airport are available less than
30 minutes away. Charlotte Douglas International boasts 19 cargo
airlines with over 60 freight forwarders.
With a total labor force of more than one million in the York County and
Charlotte areas, labor rates and skill levels of available
employees have combined to make our work force one of the most
productive in the world. A lower cost of living and higher quality
of life have made our area home to more than 235 manufacturing
operations.
Big-city access with small-town lifestyle have made Westgate
Industrial Park one of the most attractive options for relocating or
expanding companies.
Gently rolling topography and full-service utilities make Westgate
Industrial Park suitable for almost any type of industrial
development. Consistent land use patterns combined with pragmatic
property covenants create an affordable and practical option for
most companies.
Planned for a rapid yet sustained growth, over $270 million in road
improvement projects for York County, will make Westgate more
valuable in relation to the Charlotte region's excellent surface
transportation network.
Substantial incentive packages at both the state and local levels
have spurred more that one billion investment dollars for York
County in the last 10 years. The last decade has also seen the
maturation of the region's developmental trends towards
state-of-the-art manufacturing and related support services.
