The York County area is definitely growing. As Charlotte continues to expand outward, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Lancaster, and York SC are all benefiting from this growth. And while not all growth is good growth, in this case I think it’s only helping spur these areas to bigger and better things.
Here’s a link to an article in the Charlotte Observer and even though it’s almost a year old, it does a nice job talking about York and Lancaster counties.
I’m also working on a more updated, ‘As seen through my eyes’ version of “What’s going on in York/Lancaster County and why would I want to live here?”, so be sure to check back.
Ultimately, I think both Rock Hill SC and Fort Mill SC are FANTASTIC places to live because of the close proximity to Charlotte NC and all the wonderful resources and amenities there, but also because of the lower taxes, better schools, and slower pace of life. Of course that’s just my opinion, but heh, aren’t I always right anyway? 😉
