Simpsonville Update
October was a busy and exciting month at our Simpsonville
Headquarters! The interior drywall installation is well underway, giving the space a more complete look. Paving is nearly finished, landscaping is being installed around the building, and our permanent KCC sign is now proudly in place. The project continues to take shape beautifully, and it’s great to see our new headquarters coming together step by step.
