- County weighs data center moratorium, potential economic benefits
Chester County in South Carolina is considering a six-month moratorium on data centers to evaluate their potential economic benefits, including significant revenue from property taxes and equipment value. County officials highlight that a medium-sized data center could generate $30–$40 million annually, nearly doubling the county's budget and potentially reducing taxes. Regulations on data center operations, such as buffers and decibels, have already been established.
