One of the fastest-growing cities in the state, Greer is halfway between the major metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina. While it has “big city” amenities, Greer exudes Southern charm and a welcoming feeling of home. Intentional planning, collaboration, and vision drive Greer’s downtown development. Greer's Central Business District, also known as Greer Station, has become a destination with approximately 12 square blocks of retail, dining, entertainment, and professional service organizations. A National Historic District revitalized by a shared vision of the future, brick-paved streets and a canopy of lights welcome visitors to Greer’s award-winning downtown. Greer’s pro-business climate, location, and logistics assets make it fertile ground for companies seeking access to global markets. Innovators from around the world have planted roots here. At least 35 foreign-owned companies are currently doing business in Greer. Germany-based BMW Manufacturing recently invested about $125 million to build a vehicle accessory center and a cutting-edge logistics facility inside the city. Recent estimates put the population of Greer at about 55,000 with a projected 5% annual growth rate. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is located just outside the city borders making it easy to get to Greer from anywhere in the world. GSP offers more than 50 non-stop flights a day and has earned the title of Best Small Airport in North America three years in a row by Airports Council International.
