Regional Employment

Nick Kremydas (South Carolina Association of Realtors) reported today that BMW is adding two production shifts at its assembly plant in Spartanburg, requiring 700 new workers! (http://bit.ly/duk21). SRS is adding about three times that many here in Aiken this year. Despite high unemployment in rural areas nearby, both of these should help our regional housing market. The SRS hires have already removed a lot of homes from our local inventory by taking them off the market and converting them to long-term rentals.
