Spartanburg County voters have approved a $395 million bond referendum to fund infrastructure improvements to keep pace with the county’s rapid growth. The approval marks one of the largest infrastructure investments in the county’s history.
The plan will fund road improvements, water and sewer infrastructure, and public safety facilities across Spartanburg County. Officials say the investment is necessary to support the continued economic development in the region, driven by major employers including BMW, Michelin, and Milliken & Company.
“Spartanburg County is growing, and we need the infrastructure to support that growth responsibly,” said a county official in a statement following the vote.
The approved plan prioritizes corridors showing the highest growth pressure, particularly along the I-85 corridor in the Duncan and Roebuck areas.
