Duke Energy Selects McCallum Sweeney for Site Studies
Duke Energy’s economic development team has selected McCallum Sweeney Consulting, based in Greenville, South Carolina, to perform a two-phase site evaluation project for industrial sites that Duke Energy serves in North and South Carolina. Phase I of the study will be to search the region for new very large industrial sites (“mega-sites”) suitable for extremely large manufacturing operations such as motor vehicle assembly operations. Phase II of the study will be to identify and evaluate industrial sites in the region that are best suited for new manufacturing facilities in Duke Energy’s targeted growth segments: pharmaceutical/life sciences, medical devices & equipment, plastics, fabricated metals, building materials, automotive parts, food & beverage processing, general machinery, paper products and printing.
The goal of both studies is to enhance both the nationwide awareness and the quality of industrial building sites in Duke Energy’s service area. Duke Energy and McCallum Sweeney Consulting will work closely with the states, regions, and counties during this project to identify, screen, evaluate, and make recommendations for improving the sites which are selected. The process for participation in the study and for identification of potential sites will be communicated to state and local developers in April.
