ALDI, a more than 1000 store grocery chain, posted a banner this week their new store location on Hwy 160 and Vandora Springs rd in Fort Mill will open January 13, 2011. The new store has been under construction for several months and appears to be completed but is sitting idle until January.

ALDI opened their first store in southeastern Iowa back in 1976 and now has more than 1,000 grocery store locations in 31 central and east coast states. Their slogan is “honest to goodness savings” on the items you buy the most. If you have not been to an ADLI, the first thing you’ll find different is you’ll have to pay 25 cents to use a shopping cart. (more…)

A Message from Presbyterian Healthcare

Six years ago, the State of South Carolina recognized the need for a second hospital in York County. At that time, the State estimated that more than 215,000 residents would be living in this community by 2009. As we approach the end of 2010, the population has exceeded 227,000, and York County still only has one hospital to meet the needs of its residents.

The process to bring a new hospital to this community has been complicated, confusing and costly to those who so desperately need it and have waited patiently for it. But in their waiting, the residents of York County have made one thing clear—choice and competition are very important to them. (more…)

You may have notice many public rezoning signs around Fort Mill lately. Fort Mill SC could double in size if 5,000 acres are annexed by the city of Fort Mill by the end of this summer.

The 5,000 acres is the combined land of many Clear Springs Development areas including Kingsley and Springfield to name just a few and Leroy Springs acres. The City and developers have been working on Fort Mill’s annexation of the land for approx 2 years.

The First reading of the planned annexation is schedule for July 14th City Council meeting. The second reading is scheduled for the July 28th Fort Mill council meeting.

There has been several meetings between the developers and the city putting the annexation plans together. The city hopes to gain the tax revenue base of proposed mixed use commercial development areas. If the annexation plan is approved the city would have to provide the usual city services to these new development areas.

Close Springs Development is the development company that built the well known Baxter Village outside of Fort Mill. Baxter Village is not in the this proposed annexation plan. Close Springs Development is the development company the Close Family, the founders of Springs Industries, formed to manage their 7,000 acres of land around Fort Mill.

Some of the areas to be annexed are: (more…)

Fort Mill SC keeps growing. The new Koll Development Company 150,000 square foot Intellicenter building in Fort Mill SC is finished and has been turned over to Daimler Trucks of North America. Freightliner LLC changed it corporate name last January to Daimler Trucks of North America.

Last October Daimler Trucks announced the move of its 340 job sales and marketing division from Portland OR to Fort Mill, SC. As of the company deadline for relocation decisions last January, 118 Portland Daimler employees are making the move to Fort Mill, SC. I took a look at Daimler’s job opening website. Only 14 positions were listed as available. Daimler had a job fair in March so many of the non relocating positions may have been filled.

The Daimler Trucks sales and marketing new office is located on Deerfield Drive near the Gold Hill and I-77 interchange. Here is the last picture from the construction job site camera of new building taken on May 21st.

You can see the exterior of the building and landscaping is complete. Work left to do is focused on the interior office set up including furniture. Daimler Trucks expects operations to begin in the new offices the first part of August.

What is the latest about the Daimler Trucks HQ move from Portland to the York County area? (more…)
