Michelin: “Still in negotiations”

The next few days likely will tell whether the wait for Michelin will have been worth it.  Richard Blackwell, executive director of the Oconee Economic Alliance, this morning confirmed that Michelin’s option to buy property at the county’s Golden Corner Commerce Park expires at the end of the month.  “Still in discussions” is the word we got this morning from Blackwell.  The option has already been extended one time.  At issue is whether Michelin will decide to build a large distribution center at Golden Corner.
