EMC Engineering Services, Inc. was engaged to perform surveying services for the Saluda Grade Trail. This rail-to-trail project spans over 31 miles across North Carolina and South Carolina. The project involved surveying a 200-foot-wide corridor of the claimed railroad right-of-way. The plat produced from this survey was recorded in Greenville County, SC; Spartanburg County, SC; Henderson County, NC; and Polk County, NC. It became the largest recorded plat to date in three of the four counties. This plat was used to convey the rights of Norfolk Southern Railway to Conserving Carolina and Spartanburg PAL. Although construction has not yet commenced, the project represents a significant regional effort to repurpose existing infrastructure for community use. It is anticipated to contribute to long-term environmental conservation and public health.
