7 business benefits that differentiate Camp Hall from other industrial parks

When industrial decision-makers are eyeing potential locations for establishing, growing or relocating their businesses, a long list of critical factors must be considered. And while any business’s specific needs will dictate its optimal location choice, factors such as infrastructure, logistics, site size and availability, commercial property services, economic development incentives, business climate, workforce availability, environmental attributes, and life-enhancing amenities for employees typically land among the most closely examined property characteristics.

Especially for business leaders seeking industrial property in the highly sought-after Charleston, South Carolina, region, one next-generation commerce park — Camp Hall — distinguishes itself in all of these areas and more. Consider just a few of the unique advantages that Camp Hall, recently named the No. 7 best industrial park in the nation, can deliver for businesses that choose to locate there:

1. I-26 interchange on-site — A brand-new Interstate 26 interchange provides direct access to Camp Hall for both the commerce park’s businesses and their customers. And as a primary thoroughfare into and out of Charleston, I-26 offers easy connections to a number of other major interstate routes in the region, including Interstates 20, 40, 77, 85 and 95, along with the 150-plus trucking firms currently operating in the Charleston area.

2. Easy port access — Camp Hall is situated less than 30 minutes from the Port of Charleston, the deepest port on the Eastern Seaboard and the nation’s fastest-growing major container port over the last 10 years. This gives businesses that locate at Camp Hall quick access to the worldwide marketplace — an increasingly important factor to consider as the economy becomes more and more globalized.

3. Direct railway access COMING SOON — With a development agreement recently finalized, Palmetto Railways will soon construct a new, 22.7-mile rail line that will connect the Volvo Cars campus at Camp Hall directly to the CSX railroad via a private carrier’s transfer station in the nearby town of Cross. This, of course, will open up a broad range of new logistical options for the businesses located at Camp Hall.

4. A built-in community — Located at the heart of Camp Hall and designed to give the resident workforce easy connections to everyday life necessities, Avian Commons will house a thriving collection of small businesses and conveniences right on-site. The work-life balancing services here are actively being pursued and include a convenience store, food, healthcare, dry cleaning, gas, banking, a fitness center, a fire station and EMS. Other planned Avian Commons amenities include an event lawn/park, a playfield, Wi-Fi connectivity, outdoor trails, and community spaces for gatherings and celebrations.

5. An extremely business-friendly environment — South Carolina is widely regarded one of the nation’s leading states for business incentives. And businesses that choose to locate in the Palmetto State enjoy substantial perks such as one of the Southeast’s lowest corporate income tax rates, favorable corporate income tax structures, sales and use tax incentives, and no state property tax — just to name a few. Area Development magazine named South Carolina the nation’s fourth-best state for doing budiness in 2021.

6. A large and highly trained workforce — The available workforce in the Charleston,  region that Camp Hall calls home already stands at more than half a million strong, and statistics show that the fast-growing region is gaining an average of 34 new residents a day. The region’s population is also well-educated, with 21% holding a bachelor’s degree and 11% holding a graduate degree or higher — numbers that are constantly growing with more than 40,000 students in the region’s colleges and trade schools.

7. A dedication to environmental preservation — Since its beginnings, Camp Hall has striven to be an environmentally friendly industrial park. And its eco-focus is set to continue moving forward, with 28% of the campus’s land set aside for natural growth, wildlife habitats, and features focused on ecosystem maintenance and improvement. To further wetlands-preservation efforts in South Carolina, Camp Hall has vowed to restore approximately 365 acres of wetlands impacted by years of intensive tree farming, as well as to permanently protect approximately 1,265 acres of freshwater wetlands. In addition to making the area a better place to live both today and into the future, Camp Hall’s environmental efforts have earned it state recognition via the prestigious Community Star Award from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
