Reasons for the Michelin waiting game

It’s a question frequently asked.  Will Michelin, in the end, decide to build a major distribution center in Fair Play, inside Oconee County’s Golden Corner Commerce Park.  There are many considerations entering into when and whether Michelin will pull the trigger to make a home in Oconee, as explained today by Richard Blackwell, director of Oconee Economic Alliance.  Blackwell addressed his board of directors during a meeting held at the new Walhalla High School.  “Just this week there was a meeting held inside Michelin to talk about the project and to continue to move this forward….We are talking about the East Coast distribution center for Michelin North America.  We are talking about the largest warehouse in Michelin’s footprint in the United States,” Blackwell said.
