Spartanburg council members signal NorthMark data center will proceed
Spartanburg County Council members are signaling that a data center project by NorthMark Cloud and Compute (Valara) will proceed, despite an upcoming vote on a one-year moratorium for new data centers. Concerns about air pollution from the project's proposed 450-megawatt natural gas power plant, water usage, and noise have been raised by residents and environmental groups. The Southern Environmental Law Center has asked the Public Service Commission to review the project.
