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.
