Thousands Of Feet of Track To Be Laid At Inland Port

Ground was broken on the South Carolina Inland Port and once it's completed, it will utilize thousands of feet of railroad track to help provide a distribution hub for manufacturers, GreerToday reports.

More than nearly 8,000 feet of total line will be laid once the project is completed. 

The SCIP, centered on Poinsett Street in Greer, will utilize an existing overnight train service through Norfolk Southern, and is expected to help potentiate economic development seen through the Port of Charleston. 

The South Carolina Port Authority is pursuing a deepening project at the Port of Charleston, which has been fully funded by the State of South Carolina for $300 million and is slated for completion around 2019.
