Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
This EDA investment supports the construction of additional high-speed loop infrastructure to the automotive test track located on the campus of South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center in Greenville County. The purpose of this project is to support vehicles ranging from small cars to fully loaded tractor trailers.
The project consists of the construction of two travel lanes and two banked loops. These loops will allow vehicles to maintain speed and enable test vehicles to safely gain speed and enter a large, banked turn on either end of the runway. This will allow manufacturers to conduct a variety of vehicle and systems tests.
Once completed, the project will help the region address the significant and sudden loss of jobs and tax revenue caused by the coronavirus pandemic. By enhancing job creation and retention in an area that has been impacted by the decline in the coal industry, this project will contribute to the economic recovery of the region.
