We appreciate the collaboration with the Greenville Area Development Corporation. And, we owe a debt of gratitude to our commercial real estate brokers at Lyons Industrial Properties, without whose hard work and dedication, we would not be here today,” said JIDA Industrial Solutions, Inc.

With today’s announcement, these companies join a roster of globally respected firms that have chosen to do business in the Upstate, and I look forward to watching them succeed here for years to come,” Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt explained.
