Tenant's Talk

This is the right fit for us for several reasons. I do not have rail service here at my existing plant so I'm able to use the community rail unloading area. Also, they have a local charter air service there at the airport that anyone can use, so it's great for flying in and out of here rather than going to a regional airport.

The South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center really does have a vision to grow and to expand SCTAC in the best way. We're very excited about that. We've been here a long time and we've seen it grow from just us and a few other companies into this mulit-national, top of the line, industrial airport. I am excited about the vision that they have for it.
