The Rock Hill Planning Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to recommend rezoning 215 acres at 2394 Eden Terrace from a commercial master plan to general industrial use—this may also lift design restrictions on a nearby 4.92 acre site and aims to attract a major economic development project. City Council will vote on the proposal on April 14.
Rock Hill officials are reviewing plans for a 200-acre property located between I-77 and Mount Gallant Road—land once planned for the Carolina Panthers’ facility—that has remained unused since 2022 after team owner David Tepper walked away from an $800 million project; the City Council will vote on rezoning the site for industrial or commercial use on April 14.
