York County weighs 9-month moratorium on new data centers: What we know

York County, South Carolina, is considering a nine-month temporary moratorium on new data center projects in unincorporated areas, following concerns from residents about noise and pollution. The York County Council approved the first reading of the ordinance, with a third reading and public hearing scheduled for July 13. While residents feel heard, the moratorium would not apply to projects with vested rights, such as an ongoing QTS Data center campus.
