DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Seven lawmakers from Colleton County, South Carolina, oppose a proposed 859-acre data center by Eagle Rock Partners in the ACE Basin watershed. The opposition follows the county's zoning ordinance amendment passed in November 2025 allowing data centers as special exceptions.
A public hearing on December 18, 2025, showed strong community opposition. The ACE Basin is a significant protected coastal ecosystem, and local landowners have filed a lawsuit against the ordinance.
