“Go. Augusta Grove is a secure, clean business park and light-industrial corridor situated in southern Greenville County. While it offers minimal traditional tourism appeal, the area is exceptionally safe and primarily frequented by corporate commuters and logistics personnel.”

Located south of central Greenville along the I-185 Southern Connector and US-25 corridor, Augusta Grove is a master-planned modern technology and industrial park. The surrounding environment consists of quiet corporate campuses, open green space, and low-density residential pockets.
