==Transportation== The lifeline of Cherokee County, [[Interstate 85 in South Carolina|I-85]], runs through the city limits of [[Gaffney, South Carolina|Gaffney]]. It carries traffic and trade contributing to the business development along Floyd Baker Blvd, the county's main thoroughfare, which bisects I-85. Much of the county's growth occurs along I-85. With no airports of its own, Cherokee County is served by [[Charlotte Douglas International Airport]] and [[Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport]]. A study to determine the feasibility of building an airport in the county revealed that an airport is desperately needed by businesses. Previous studies have determined the structure of the airport and possible airport sites have been narrowed down to two sites β one located just south of Gaffney and one located outside of Blacksburg. A major economic feasibility study is now being conducted, as required for funding by the federal government. If the airport is economically viable, the government could contribute 95% of the funds needed to construct the airport, if the project is authorized by Congress. If the study fails, then no federal funding will be provided.<ref>{{Cite web |last=ohtadmin |date=October 30, 2020 |title=Airport again a hot topic for county council β The Gaffney Ledger |url=https://www.gaffneyledger.com/articles/airport-again-a-hot-topic-for-county-council/ |access-date=June 12, 2022 |website=The Gaffney Ledger -}}</ref> ===Major highways=== * {{Jct|state=SC|I|85}} * {{Jct|state=SC|US|29}} * {{Jct|state=SC|US|221}} * {{Jct|state=SC|US-Alt|221|dab1=Chesnee}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|5}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|11}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|18}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC-Conn|18|dab1=Gaffney}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|97}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|105}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC-Conn|105|dab1=Cherokee County}} (near Draytonville) * {{Jct|state=SC|SC-Conn|105|dab1=Saratt}} (Saratt) * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|110}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|150}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|198}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|211}} * {{Jct|state=SC|SC|329}}
