Spartanburg County Council Advances $3B Project Spero AI Data Center Amid Community Concerns
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
A grassroots group in Spartanburg County is raising awareness about Project Spero, a proposed $3 billion AI data center that recently passed a second reading by the county council. Concerns about environmental impact and infrastructure have been voiced, though Councilman Mo Abusaft highlights the potential tax revenue benefits. A town hall meeting is planned before the final vote on March 16, with the project expected to generate $250 million in property tax revenue and create 50 permanent jobs.
