Third South Carolina property designated CSX Select Site

CSX yesterday announced that Central South Carolina MegaSite in Lugoff, South Carolina, has been designated a CSX Select Site.


Select Sites are development-ready properties on the CSX network where standard land use considerations and comprehensive due diligence items have been addressed. The properties are ready to meet the requirements of a wide variety of manufacturers, which reduces the time needed to build facilities and bring products to market, CSX officials said in a press release.

South Carolina has a track record of attracting industrial projects with "significant investment," said Tom Tisa, head of business development at CSX.

The 1,426-acre site is adjacent to a rail mainline and an interstate highway at an existing interchange.

"The Central South Carolina MegaSite is an outstanding location for another high-impact investment that capitalizes on the environmental advantages of rail and CSX’s commitment to helping customers lower their carbon footprint,” Tisa said.

The site is the third in South Carolina to obtain a CSX Select Site designation.
