Dale Earnhardt Industries and Clemson University

Dale Earnhardt Industries and Clemson University have signed a memorandum to share ideas and knowledge in the development of motorsports vehicles. Clemson and the International Center for Automotive Research has been courting a racing team to partner with for several years, and will provide a good fit to help to help share research and development costs for racing cars. DEI has endowed a three-year scholarship to Clemson that provides for a student to intern with the racing team.

An Atlanta developer plans an upscale apartment complex in the dynamic Greer market at the corner of South Suber and Chick Springs Roads. The plans call for 240 units in ten, three-story buildings that would rent between $750 and $1200. Amenities include pool, clubhouse with exercise room, cyber café, coffee bar, big screen TVs, and garages.

The downtown Greenville sewer project that has been disrupting traffic near Spring and Broad Streets will hopefully wrap up by the end of October. It is part of a $44 million upgrade to the aging sewer system in the wake of several spills into public and private areas. Most of the work revolves around replacing the catch basins where multiple lines come together. The city is doing $2 million in preventative maintenance as well, and has made enough progress over the last few years that it has been removed from the EPA’s list of violators.

An $80 million sports and entertainment complex has been announced that will be located at Mauldin Road and Fairforest Way in Greenville. The 120 acre site will house fitness, basketball, and aquatic centers plus 26 retail shops and a 3,500 seat concert hall. The Nolie Johnson Jr. Sports and Entertainment Complex is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2008 and will provide a unique product for the Southeast.
