A high-performance technology center on the former Kohler site.
We are building a high-performance technology center to support our own operations. After evaluating locations nationwide, Spartanburg stood out for its skilled and growing workforce, supportive business environment, and long term potential. We’re here for the long term and proud to invest in the community’s success.
In early 2025, we acquired the former Kohler site on South Pine Street and made commitments to County Council, to OneSpartanburg, and to the state: thorough site rehabilitation, job creation, community support, and meaningful tax revenue. We are honoring those commitments.
"Large projects like this are permitted and built in phases — a standard approach in South Carolina. The applications you may see are part of the planned progression, consistent with the original scope presented to local and state leaders."
Our commitments to power, water, and environmental stewardship.
Tax revenue that supports schools, public safety, and infrastructure.
These revenues will support schools, public safety, infrastructure, and services for years to come.
The site previously generated around $480,000–$507,000 in annual property taxes. Our investment is projected to generate the following in tax dollars directly to the county – based on current capital investment milestones and subject to final assessments:
A workforce built on Spartanburg's talent, today and tomorrow.
Construction currently brings approximately 1,445 workers to the site each day, with roughly one in three from Spartanburg County. We direct contractors toward local spending and prioritise Spartanburg-area suppliers wherever possible. At full operation, we anticipate approximately 150 permanent on-site roles — skilled, higher-wage positions in maintenance, trades, and technical operations. We are actively supporting local STEM education and workforce development partnerships to help build talent pipelines for these and future opportunities in advanced industries.
