The Data Center Bill
New act aims to boost data center growth in South Carolina
Data Center Development
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would help data centers set up more easily, but could shift costs to regular people.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If this bill passes, it might make it easier for big data centers to open, but it could also mean higher costs for everyone else. It's important to speak up now to make sure our needs are considered.
