Saving Greenville’s Farmland: A Common-Sense Path Forward
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
A recent article in the SC Daily Gazette about South Carolina’s Working Farmland Protection Fund inspired me to take a closer look at what Greenville County can do to protect our own farmland. The story highlighted how the state is helping farmers keep their land in production rather than selling to developers, a model that makes sense for a fast-growing county like ours.
After visiting farms across Greenville County over the past few weeks, from Happy Cow Creamery in the south to Famoda Farm in the north, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication, innovation, and grit that define our agricultural community. These visits reinforced what I already knew: we have something worth protecting, and we have a County Council that I believe is ready to get serious about joining these preservation efforts in the coming year.

And where is government oversight? I haven’t seen hearings on Data Centers – not at county, state, or in Congress
Where are all those brainwashed, whining protesters screaming because us fossil fuel users are going to cause the world to overheat and collapse? Because now, it is really happening.
A Data Center’s (DC) water usage varies, with a single large data center consuming several million gallons of water daily, comparable to a medium-sized town. This water is used primarily for cooling equipment, either directly or indirectly by producing the electricity that powers the facility. In some cases, data center water consumption has been found to exceed 25% of a local community’s total water supply. (emphasis mine) And power usage? Your solar farm handling this? Nope!
Transportation Deserts: Rural SC Towns, Cities Lack Private Ride Options

Editor’s note: This story is part of a two-article package published today on rural transportation issues in South Carolina. The other story can be found here.
If you want a ride from a “transportation network company,” such as Uber or Lyft, in South Carolina, you likely will find it hard to do so in at least 100 small towns or cities and three counties in rural areas, a review by The Nerve has found.
A transportation network company, or TNC for short, is defined in part under state law as a “person, corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, or other entity” that uses a “digital network, platform, or Internet-enabled application to connect a passenger to a transportation network driver.”
Groundbreaking at Isuzu: A Clear Win for Greenville County
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
On October 1, 2025, Greenville County made history as Isuzu Motors broke ground on their new $280 million, one-million-square-foot production facility on Augusta Road in Piedmont. This major investment will bring over 700 high-quality jobs to our community and reaffirm our place as a national leader in advanced manufacturing.
The day before the ceremony, I had the honor of attending a private dinner with Isuzu leadership, local officials, and community partners. During that gathering, I presented Chairman and CEO Masanori Katayama with a special gift, a handcrafted butterfly by Greenville artist Yuri Tsuzuki, who was born in Japan, but relocated to Greenville with her family in the 70’s She is responsible for the various butterflies you can find all over Greenville city, on sidewalks, in tress, and the park. Here is a portion of what I shared:

WASHINGTON, and CHICAGO -- Prison Fellowship International (PFI) and Bible League International (BLI) mark their long-standing partnership with a new agreement to distribute 620,000 Bibles over the next five years to prisoners in 20 countries.

- Details
- By Press Release

GREER, S.C. — Justin Bradley, candidate for State Senate District 12, announced today that he will not participate in the Spartanburg County Republican Party's October 7 forum, citing the Party's failure to follow agreed rules and ensure a fair process for all Republican candidates.
"This race should be decided by the voters, not by Party insiders stacking the deck for their preferred candidate," Bradley said.
Bradley explained that despite the special election being announced in August, he was only approached last week by County Chairman Frank Tiller about joining a still-developing forum.
