Bus Maker to Bring 1,300 Jobs to South Carolina

A company that makes electric buses is planning to build a $68-million plant in Greenville County, S.C. that would eventually employ around 1,300 people.

Proterra LLC is slated to make the announcement Thursday at Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Research. The company was founded in 2004 and makes hybrid- and battery-powered buses for mass transit.

The facility couldn’t come at a better time in South Carolina, which had an unemployment rate of 12.6 percent in December, one of the highest in the nation.
