What happened
The BMW manufacturing plant project was successfully attracted to Spartanburg County through the use of tax incentives. The county utilized a fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement, known as FILOT, to secure the investment. This successful strategy helped Spartanburg County attract $65 billion in investment and 100,000 new jobs over 35 years.
