Inside Business Black Box
"The recently rebranded industrial and aviation center now operates under new leadership, boasts impressive numbers- both fiscal and industrial- and sports a new moniker. All of this activity has garnered a surplus of much-deserved attention that has left many in the Upstate wondering how this formerly low-profile facility, transitioned from relative ambiguity to record growth in such a short time- not to mention, during a time of economic downturn."

September 2009
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 multi-national, top of the line, industrial
airport. I am excited about the vision that they have for it.
