Good morning, Spartanburg.

Saluda Grade Trails Conservancy purchased a 31.5-mile rail corridor on June 17 from Norfolk Southern for $28.5 million — the group plans to turn the unused track into a recreational trail running from Inman to Zirconia.

They will now raise money for planning, design, and construction — with hopes of linking the new trail to local systems like the Daniel Morgan and Ecusta trails.

Former bookkeeper Jennifer Bengston Cook from Greer was sentenced on June 18 to three years in federal prison and ordered to pay nearly $2.3 million in restitution after stealing from SSRC Inc. in Duncan—leaving the company with a large tax bill and added financial burdens.

Senator Josh Kimbrell from Spartanburg announced on social media Monday night that he is running for governor and will launch his campaign Saturday at Carolina Day at Bowen’s Landing on Highway 9 in Inman — he said he is ready to lead South Carolina Forward.

Prisma Health EMS in Greenville County is now using a new plastic device that cools heatstroke victims by submerging them in water and ice to bring their body temperatures to safe levels in about 15 or 20 minutes — the tool is shared with other first responders to help lower severe heatstroke risks.
