Forbes Magazine calls Greenville one of America’s best downtowns. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks the city in the top 50 on its Best Places to Live list. Last year, OneSpartanburg Inc. was named Chamber of the Year by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, which is a national association of more than 1,600 chambers of commerce and related business and economic development organizations, representing more than 9,000 professionals in theThindustry.rillistrecently named Greer one of “The Best Suburban Neighborhoods You Should Totally Move To,” citing BMW’s test track and its collection of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. The Upstate is no stranger to accolades. Many outsiders, including my family, have discovered its secrets. (Shhh….there’s still plenty to keep to ourselves…) Look at me, talking like I’m a native. We moved to the Upstate just over three months ago as of this writing. Having the good fortune to choose among Greenville, Columbia or Charleston as our home, we chose Greenville. Maybe U.S. News’ article had something to do with that: “Greenville has big-city amenities without some of the unpleasantries that come with a more populated metro area,” its website stated in its ranking of the city. “Plus, being located steps away from the mountains without giving up any of the offerings of a developed region makes it easy to enjoy what nature has to offer,” the post continued. InsideSold. these pages of Market Facts you’ll find lots of stats and graphics behind why the Upstate is on the upswing — and why it faces challenges, just like any area experiencing growth. We hope you’ll use this special section as a resource and guide to the Upstate’s strengths — and opportunities. Even a region rich in accolades has room for growth.

Roebuck Buildings Company is honored to once again partner with GSA Business Report for Market Facts. As we celebrate our 75th Anniversary this year, we continue to set our sights higher as we look toward the future. While much of life has gone back to normal, the impact of Covid shutdowns is still very real in the construction world. Price increases, extended lead times, shortages, etc. have had great effects on the industry. Despite these challenges, countless people and companies continue to choose the Upstate of SC to live, work, and invest. Roebuck Buildings has been blessed with the opportunity to help many companies turn those dreams into realities via building expansions, renovations, and new ground-up facilities. While we are proud of our 75-year history, we are most excited about the future of the company and being a part of the macro growth here in Upstate, SC. Ken Anderson President Bank of Travelers Rest is honored to partner with GSA Business to publish Market Facts. As the oldest bank chartered and still headquartered in Greenville County, we recognize the important contributions of the people, businesses and organizations that make the Upstate a place we are proud to call home. To us, community banking involves listening to our customers so we can recommend solutions for their unique needs. The core of our business is centered in banking; however, we find value in community initiatives and reinvest in those to fund the growth, change and betterment of life for the communities around us. As the Upstate positions for growth, we hope Market Facts will be a tool to propel your business into the center of that growth.

Top 5 Reasons to Attend TCTC
• Lowest tuition in the Upstate.
• Highest student success, graduation and transfer rates among the state’s 16 technical colleges.

Another example of a successful partnership is the highly successful Bridge to Clemson program. A first of its kind in South Carolina, it is an invitation-only program that blends the traditional academic experience at TCTC with the social and cultural experiences of being a Clemson University student. Heading into its 17th year, the largest cohort to date –more than 1,000 freshmen – have been accepted to the Bridge to Clemson program in the fall of 2022.
60 years, Tri-County Technical College (TCTC) has been serving the residents of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens counties.
In that time, TCTC has grown from one technical education center to four community campuses and two learning centers offering technical and health education training, business and public services majors, university transfer offerings in the arts and sciences, college credit courses for high school students, and non-credit courses through its Corporate and Community Education Division. In the beginning, TCTC’s mission was to serve as a tool for economic development, as well as a comprehensive community college providing equal educational opportunities for all citizens. Today, TCTC continues its mission of promoting lifelong learning and advancing economic development in the Upstate region by preparing a highly-skilled “Inworkforce.everything we do, we believe that education has the power to improve the economic mobility of our students and results in stronger, more prosperous communities,” said TCTC President Dr. Galen DeHay. TCTC offers a variety of seamless career pathways that integrate academic and skills training to build tomorrow’s workforce. One example is the College’s partnership with BASF. Tri-County and BASF collaborated to develop the BASF North American Apprenticeship Program. As part of the program, apprentices work full-time at BASF’s Seneca facility while attending classes at TCTC’s Oconee Campus. Upon completion of the one-year program, apprentices earn a Process Technology Certificate from Tri-County. In addition to paying a competitive wage, BASF offers benefits and covers the cost of tuition, books and fees associated with the program. At the end of the program, apprentices have the skills and credentials to be placed in permanent positions.
Transforming
TRI-COUNTY TECHNICAL COLLEGE
“Partnerships are critical to our ability to increase educational attainment and create workforce pipelines,” said President DeHay. “We look forward to creating more opportunities for students to move up the economic ladder and to meeting the needs of the region’s employers for many more years to come.”

Employing a design-build model for Spartanburg Chrysler Dodge Jeep, as they do for most of their projects, Roebuck provided the owner with significant savings. He was so delighted, he asked them to remodel his dealership in Charlotte. Design-build is particularly useful for these supply-chain-challenged times, allowing the client and builder to collaborate on choosing in advance the materials options that they know will be available, and having them ready when needed. Roebuck boasts a team that has extensive expertise in the design-build process.

Design-Build ensures a smoother workflow
One case in point: a manufacturing client hired Roebuck to work on a $4 million project in Simpsonville and even before the permitting was done, the client was so satisfied with the experience that he ordered $20 million more work in two other locations.
As the company transitions to new people in charge, employees are seeing that the family culture remains the same. Employees’ children still roam the hallways, team members still know that the company wants them home at night for their family events, and even rescue dogs from Stone Soup Animal Rescue, which Roebuck supports, might be found at headquarters on a given day. In an enterprise where relationships are paramount, there is room for man’s best friend.
Relationships = An enjoyable experience for everyone Dean Anderson will remain highly involved, taking his deep ties in the Upstate to the chairman and CEO positions. Ken, who majored in business management and real estate at the University of South Carolina and worked as a commercial broker before joining the firm, promises that the elements that made Roebuck Buildings successful and kept their customers and teammates happy will not change.
Three-quarters of a century later, his grandson is taking the reins of a sophisticated, family-first firm that specializes in design-build construction and focuses on people.
“We do construction but we’re in the people business,” says new president Ken Anderson, who recently took over for his father, Dean, after 35 years at the helm.
Roebuck Buildings Reaches 75 Years Because Of How It Treats People
That means a focus on relationships — with clients, teammates and sub-contractors — commitment to quality work, an enjoyable customer experience, and obsession with safety on the job will remain the backbone of Roebuck Buildings. The company is approaching 5,000 days without a lost-time accident. That’s almost 14 years. As Roebuck grows, it is bringing more expertise into ownership. Ryan Mabus, a 10-year veteran of the firm who began his career laying concrete, and Jason Fisher, a 20-plus-year company veteran, have joined the ownership group. Mabus focuses on pre-construction and Fisher on construction. Clients deal with company owners at every stage of the build.
Building trust and demonstrating capability have served Roebuck, its staff and its customers. More than half the staff has enjoyed over a decade with the company. The value of their accumulated knowledge and experience, combined with those relationships built over time, have delivered a 75% repeat business rate.

Trehel Celebrates 40 Years of Commitment to Customers and Employees
A seven-time Best Places to Work SC honoree, average staff tenure at Trehel is 15 years. The company creates a culture where people are seen, heard, engaged and receive fulfillment employing their talents to provide a service to their clients. Huss himself joined the company 26 years ago and has risen through the ranks to become CEO.“Iam

This dedication to the customer relationship harkens back to Neal Workman’s experiences at the start of the business, when he discovered that working directly with the clients to plan and build their vision was the most enjoyable part of the job. Most of the decisions are made before the first shovelful of dirt flies, something whose importance is heightened in a time of supply chain issues today.Among
our decades ago, Neal Workman faced the choice of leaving the Upstate of South Carolina to keep his job or starting his own construction company. That’s when Trehel Corporation was born, combining the names of his children, Neal III (Tres) and Helen, and built on a foundation of collaborative relationships with customers.
While there may be multiple mechanical systems and types of materials from which to choose, Trehel provides guidance to the customer on the relative cost, maintenance required, etc. and allow them to make the optimal selection. “We feel like we’re guiding our clients through the building process and informing them about what they asked for, delivering a successful project” says Will Huss, CEO of Trehel.
TREHEL CORPORATION
nothing without my people — the people I work with and our subcontractors,” said Huss, who rarely accepts new projects more than 90 miles from the office so that parents could get back home in time for their kids’ activities. “I stand on the shoulders of hundreds of people who have allowed us to achieve what we’ve achieved,” he said.
Trehel’s signature projects are more than 150 Faith-based projects around the state, multiple facilities for The Cliffs, the Greenville News building in downtown Greenville and Walhalla High School. The $13 million Greenville Drive Stadium may have been the most challenging, wedged as the construction cycle was between the last pitch of one season and opening day of the next. Although many entities, including local government, had an interest in the project, Trehel maintained open communication and cooperation to finish the stadium on time. Play ball!
Even after their projects are complete, Trehel remains in contact to serve clients and repair any issues that emerge, even if they might be classified as normal wear and tear.
Today, Trehel is renowned for its commitment to making the construction process an experience clients would be delighted to repeat. Trehel is dedicated to open communication that explores all the options with customers at each stage of construction to allow them to make informed decisions about how to move forward.

Although technical education has trended down in recent years, it’s an option touted by state leaders in government — starting with the governor and commerce secretary — and industry. The S.C. Technical College System offers avenues to start high-paying careers sooner and with little to no student debt. Still, enrollment is king for the traditional four-year colleges and universities. Enrollment at those schools has soared by nearly 20,000 over the last couple of decades. In the end, those graduates are the bulk of our highest earners. It is worth noting, however, that far too many of our residents, 12%, did not earn a high school diploma.

The Capital Reserve Fund must equal 2% of the General Fund. The money must be used to replenish the General Reserve Fund if necessary. However, if that money isn't needed, then the General Assembly can appropriate the money for one-time expenditures such as capital improvement projects. K-12 education receives the highest allocation of funding from the General Fund. For fiscal year 2022-23, it is budgeted for more than $3.6 billion, or 36% of the total General Fund budget.

Now you should definitely use a tax preparer, especially if you run a business, and consult a tax attorney if you think your tax situation might be an issue. Because these are statistics, you’re going to find that individual circumstances can sway one way or another. For comparison, the national rate of audits is 7.7 per 1,000 filings. The most audited county in the nation is Humphreys County, Miss., with 11.8 audits per 1,000 filings. The county near the Mississippi River Delta has a population of 8,257 people, according to the latest Census data. The reason for the high rates of audits in Humphreys County is because so many of the residents are poor. IRS data show that Americans with the lowest income and those who are exceptionally rich are audited at a higher rate than anyone else.

Few sectors were as quiet as real estate in the rst few weeks a er COVID-19 sent people home to ride out what they hoped would be a short pandemic. But within a few months those same people were driving a hot real estate market as they decided to make the most of home. What remains to be seen is the long-term e ect of higher interest rates ushered in by rate hike from the Federal Reserve. We’ve already seen layo s among some mortgage companies as the rush cooled, and real estate data show time on the market slowing. feet in space in Greenville-Spartanburg. rates space has declined since 2020 now in the second quarter of 2022.
