Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Upstate

Greenville County leads South Carolina in construction establishments—1,405 firms, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis. This isn’t just about building homes; it’s about a deep, embedded economic engine. The concentration of firms drives efficiency and resilience, but also increases systemic risk. What does this mean for long-term growth in the Upstate? How might policy support this ecosystem without amplifying fragility?
