There has been some news that Spartanburg County is about to get a $2.8 Billion investment from an unnamed company at this point. Fox Carolina has a news story about what the Spartanburg County Council is considering with this investment. I’m assuming there will be massive tax breaks provided to this company to have them invest in South Carolina.
“Councilman David Britt said the county is still in negotiations with the company, which he described as a high-performance computing center that supports engineering, technology and aerospace sectors.” Furthermore, “Britt specified the project is not a data center and would also be an energy-self-sufficient facility.”
There’s lots of information coming out of Columbia, SC lately that South Carolina wants to get in front of the data center boom and be sure that SC gets more than its fair share of data center investments. Here’s the South Carolina Data Center Map.
