Meta is investing over $800 million to build a data center at Sage Mill Industrial Park in Aiken County, with local authorities approving economic incentives for this and two other data centers. While there are mixed community responses regarding environmental concerns and job opportunities, proponents argue that these facilities will enhance local employment diversity and generate significant revenue. Meta is also committed to sustainability, aiming to return 100% of its energy use to the grid and achieve water positivity by 2030.
