Spartanburg Co. council advances data center moratorium, discusses Flock cameras

The Spartanburg County Council in South Carolina has advanced a one-year data center moratorium ordinance to its second reading. The proposal, which aims to pause new data center development, was met with strong public debate from both opponents expressing fear and supporters like Lockhart Power, who claim data centers help keep electricity rates low. The ordinance still requires a third and final reading and another public hearing before it can be enacted.
