Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes

Sage Mill Industrial Park, Graniteville. 715,000 sq ft; Meta's 22nd US data center. Explicitly optimized for AI workloads. Administration building constructed with mass timber. Expected operational spring 2027. Coordinates are Graniteville area centroid. On subsidies: in April 2023 Aiken County Council approved, 7-2, a fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement and a joint multi-county business/industrial park with Edgefield County for the then code-named 'Project Sabal' (intermediary Starskey LLC), reported by the Aiken Standard; a September 2024 Aiken Standard column reports that the fee-in-lieu agreement between Meta and Aiken County runs for 40 years. No dollar value or ordinance number was found, so the subsidy entry carries no amount.
