2 Charlotte Companies Bringing Their Jobs to Fort Mill

LPL Financial In San Diego, California.

The grass is always greener on the other side.  For two Charlotte companies, that is the other side of the NC/SC border.  The decision was all about the green for both companies, but not in the way you may think.
Deals with big companies are usually all about the dollars and incentives that the area offers.
However the deal was sealed for the Lash Group and LPL Financial Carolinas by the lifestyle offerings by the Anne Springs Close Greenway.
The Kingsley North business park will be home to construction of both companies new offices.  Near the intersection of S.C. 160 and Interstate 77 - their offices will be just minutes from the greenway, where employees can hike, bike, fish, camp, ride horses, and even kayak
The undeveloped 530-acre office park gives each company the chance to build the campuses they have been longin for, but just could not build in Charlotte.
Both offices have their eyes set on a 2016 opening date for their new campuses, and are expected to be bringing many new jobs with them.

The 2 announcements were part of what Gov. Nikki Haley called "The ultimate economic development hat trick".
Earlier in the day, Giti Tire of Singapore announced it will build a plant in Chester County, investing $560 million and creating 1,700 jobs.
The Lash Group plans to invest up to $90 million for its new headquarters and possibly a second building. The group will initially employ about 1,200 in Fort Mill, expandable to a 2,400-person workforce in several years. The company intends to keep about 600 workers in Charlotte through 2019.
LPL Financial intends to invest at least $150 million and create about 3,000 jobs in the next several years. The company has 1,000 workers in Charlotte, with those jobs moving to Fort Mill. The company also has offices in San Diego and Boston. Casady said all of the company’s growth is slated for the Fort Mill office.

Fort mill is becoming a lot like Cary NC.  Companies are moving to the area, not only for the economic advantages that it offers, but also for the ammonites and life style that comes with the area.  You just cant beat Fort Mill!

Major Additions Planned for Springfield

Artist's Sketch

The region's next Baxter Village is already under construction.  The major difference is going to be the shops to homes ratio.  Springfield is slated to hold only 650 single family homes with 300,000 sqft of commercial space. for comparison, Baxter Village has 1,450 homes with only 250,000 sqft of commercial space.
For those of you that are unaware where this is located, think Gold Hill Road and Interstate 77.  More exact is Hwy 21 and Springfield Parkway.  If you take a trip out to check out the site, you will notice that the construction of phase 1 has already started. Harris Teeter will anchor the fist phase of Springfield, and will be accompanied by a nail salon and Great Clips when the phase first opens.  There are spaces for restaurants and a few smaller shops still available in this phase.
A builder who must remain nameless until the contract is signed is close to closing the deal to develop the new phase of homes.  Home construction is expected to start early 2015, but price points of these homes have yet to be disclosed.
Northern York county is ready for the development, and Fort Mill School district expects a growth rate of 1,000 single family homes per year. As construction picks back up in the area, Harris Teeter and other companies are putting their trust back in the build site that was postponed back in 2010.  Many even thought the Springfield project was abandoned.
Springfield and Baxter Village are both parts of the 7,000+ acre development named "Clear Spring" owned by the former area based Springs Industries - The close family.
