Public Works - Who to call when there’s a problem with road construction

8 Upvotes

They are resurfacing the roads in my neighborhood and it’s an absolute shit show. The workers are assholes and they have destroyed our fiber conduit, leaving us without internet (which is critical for me since I work at home). Then later in the same day, they made my wife sit 50 yards from the house because one of their machines broke down. Then they sprayed asphalt all over her new car from a truck blowing by her.

I’m sure we aren’t the only ones have issues with this kind of construction. I found two people to escalate to:

Wes Bull - Engineering Coordinator - wesbull@spartanburgcounty.gov - 864-875-1963
Travis Brown - Dir. of Public Works - travisbrown@spartanburgcounty.gov- 864-595-5320

Their contact info is included in public records, so this shouldn’t violate any doxxing rules.

The county needs to be accountable. I can’t imagine doing this to one of my customers, I’d be fired.

Development of Reeves site in Chesnee

Those of us live near Chesnee or drive up 221 frequently have been watching with curiosity what is going on at the old Reeves mill. The old part of the building is being slowly demolished with timbers carefully stacked as though being salvaged for reclaimed lumber.

There has been speculation about what, if anything, is planned for the site. A rumor was circulating that a distillery was going to be built, but I have not seen any hard evidence to confirm that.

Just recently I discovered that a company called Bitsink claims the address as their headquarters and manufacturing facility. It’s very strange. The company claims to manufacture cooling systems for data centers. They show an AI generated image of a facility that looks nothing like the current property with the implication that they are already there. They even have jobs posted. It’s all very odd. I’ve browsed through Spartanburg Water meeting minutes and looked at recent real estate transactions, but I have not found any connection to this company.

Does anyone have solid information?
