Stonecrest Farm named CSX Select Site in Greenwood County

The Stonecrest Farm Rail Site in Greenwood has been officially designated as a CSX Select Site, one of only 12 in South Carolina and the only one in the Upstate

The designation recognizes the property as a top-tier industrial site with direct rail access, exceptional logistics advantages, and strong development potential, according to a news release from Greenwood County.

The Stonecrest Farm Rail Site, located at 1641 Emerald Road, offers 112 contiguous developable acres with utilities at the property line in a long-established industrial corridor, according to the county. Its surrounding land uses are compatible with industrial rail activity.

“The CSX Select Site designation for the Stonecrest Farm Rail Site is the culmination of hard work, coordination and long-term commitment to site readiness,” Greenwood County Economic Development Director James Bateman said in the release. “It highlights the county’s ability to advance the competitiveness of industrial sites, increasing visibility with site selectors and corporate decision makers. This recognition will help attract investment and create jobs from rail-dependent businesses.”

The CSX Select Site program evaluates properties across a wide range of criteria, including rail adjacency, utility infrastructure and completion of environmental studies. Only 6% of CSX-served sites earn this designation, giving companies confidence in Greenwood County’s ability to support industrial growth.

The county says Stonecrest Farm Rail Site’s selection as a CSX Select Site reinforces Greenwood County’s strategy for developing high-quality industrial sites to attract and retain businesses that bring long-term economic benefits to the region.
