 SCTAC is collaborating with the Upcountry History Museum to honor the legacy of Donaldson Center. A 12 month exhibit will open in November of this year and focus on the impact of the South Carolina Upcountry in WWII, featuring the Greenville Army Air Base. The exhibit will educate visitors about the Upcountry textile industry's essential role in supporting the war effort and the extent to which this war impacted our communities' economic and cultural development and created the Upcountry we experience today.  For more information or to make a charitable contribution to these efforts, visit the Upcountry History Museum's website or contact Leslie Farmer at 864-451-5751.

  • Tenant Testimonial

    The South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center itself is obviously built for aircraft maintenance and sustainment. Since it was a former air force base there were already most of the facilities in place that we would need to do aircraft maintenance work here. As far as the area itself, the quality of life is great. And on top of that you've got a talented work force to draw from and places like Greenville Tech that do so much to add to and augment the workforce. It's a good package.
