Description

Description	The Valara Data Center is a massive data center campus under construction in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It includes 500,000 square feet of new buildings, a power yard, internal roads, and a 450-megawatt gas-fired power plant, which will be one of the largest industrial air polluters in the county. The project is nearly $3 billion, making it the second most expensive project in South Carolina history and the most expensive in Spartanburg County history. The project is currently under review but is being processed as a minor land development, bypassing the public Planning Commission review process, which has led to legal action demanding compliance with the county's land development ordinance and a transparent public review.
