BMW has had plant Spartanburg here since 1992, there is an inland port in Greer that delivers supplies via rail from Port Charleston, its actually setup really well and BMW is the reason we even have an inland port in Greer. They also export cars from that inland port to the sea port for exportation to the entire world. BMW basically put the SC Upstate on the map as a major manufacturing/transit hub in the South East.

This 1.7 Billion investment is to add on to the existing campus in plant Spartanburg and build a 700 million EV battery plant in Woodruff SC which is about 15 miles south of the main plant.

Overall, it will turn out just fine, BMW has been here for 30 years now. As a local resident im thrilled to see this investment in the area, not many areas in the country are so fortunate to have such a strong local economy.
