Youngstown leaders pursued major data center for past year, emails reveal

Youngstown city leaders, including Mayor McDowell's administration, have been secretly pursuing a "multibillion dollar" data center development with companies like Wharton Equity and LightHouse Data Centers for over a year. This pursuit comes despite known public opposition and the fact that nearby communities have enacted moratoriums due to concerns about noise, water use, and pollution. The city has engaged with utilities and site selection firms while attempting to manage public messaging.

Spartanburg County Council plans data center moratorium as new project looms$

Spartanburg County Council is moving to implement a moratorium on new data center construction, driven by public discontent with existing projects and concerns over a newly proposed facility at 300 Jones Road. The unanimous vote allows the county to review its ordinances and await state legislation regarding data centers' significant power and water demands. This action, while not affecting the already approved NorthMark data center, responds to constituent concerns and potential environmental impacts.
