Developers are looking to build an 859-acre data center campus near Walterboro, about 45 minutes north of downtown Beaufort, according to a public notice from Colleton County®
The proposed site would be the closest data center to Beaufort County to date. The extensive facilities, filled with rows of computer servers, data storage devices, and networking equipment, are known for consuming large amounts of energy, leading to higher power bills in surrounding areas more than an hour away.
At the same time, data centers form the backbone of digital services. Every time you send an email, stream a show, save a photo to the cloud, or ask a question to a chatbot, you’re relying on a data center.
