Pee Dee Regional Commerce Center
Florence County, South Carolina
The Pee Dee Regional Commerce Center is a 717-acre project immediately adjacent to Interstate 95 in northeastern South Carolina. The property is fronted by a four-lane access highway with a full interchange with I-95 and is located only four miles from the Florence Regional Airport. The project’s access to utilities is remarkable. There is a 30-million gallon per day treatment plant adjacent to the site with a 36-inch main running through the property along with a major sewer trunk line. An electric substation is under construction on the property and natural gas is also available in quantity. The Pee Dee Regional Commerce Center is the largest new business park to be developed in the I-95 corridor from Virginia to Florida in the last 10 years.

A unique advantage of the property is that Phase I and II environmental audits have been completed on all sites along with wetlands delineation and mitigation, boundary surveys, geo-technical exploration and endangered species surveys. The site is immediately available for clients to begin construction of their facilities. Since the property is in Phase I development, there is maximum flexibility in terms of site size and configuration. The site has recently been shown to projects requiring as many as 200 acres and as few as two or three acres.

• Acres: 717
• Unique characteristics: Directly on I-95 with excellent utility infrastructure in place
• Suited for: For the most part, this is a “do all” site that can be used for just about any industry other than heavy
  

Black River Airport Industrial Park
Sumter County, South Carolina
Combine a “high end” industrial park with a recently declared federal Empowerment Zone and you get the best of both worlds. That’s what you will find in Sumter County’s Black River Airport Industrial Park. The park totals 3,020 acres of which 1,660 are still available. A portion of the park is adjacent to the Sumter Municipal Airport. The park features walking trails, public recreational access and a future wildlife refuge, certainly not items normally associated with an Empowerment Zone. A large 200-plus-acre site lies in the Empowerment Zone and any tenant of that property may take advantage of numerous investment incentives from local, state and federal governments.

A second site with 200-plus contiguous acres is located in the park immediately surrounding the Sumter Municipal Airport. This site, while not part of the Empowerment Zone, is ideal for a prospect that needs immediate runway access. You can purchase land at both sites for $8,000 to $12,000 per acre. Water, sewer, electric and gas are in place and the park is rail-served.
