Residents, officials react to proposed data center in Union County

Volt Edge Energy, a subsidiary of Genesis Digital Assets, has proposed a $410 million, 49-megawatt data center, "Project Alpaca," in Union County, South Carolina. The project faces significant resident opposition due to concerns about water usage, noise pollution, and potential utility bill increases. The Union County Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on May 12, followed by ordinance readings for approval.
