Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Newberry County held a public hearing on an ordinance to enter an option and purchase agreement with 'Project Altair' for remaining acreage in Mid-Carolina Commerce Park II; the developer intended to lease to a data center tenant building several buildings. Santee Cooper was conducting an electrical grid capacity study for the area.
Underlying source - Cancelled
Newberry County Council voted unanimously to deny the land-sale ordinance at third reading, reversing the first two readings, and then moved to a 12-month moratorium on accepting new data center permits.
Underlying source
Source notes
The end tenant and the developer were never named publicly; 'Project Altair' is the county's code name. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Prosperity, SC — Mid-Carolina Commerce Park II did not resolve in OSM. Recorded as cancelled because the enabling land-sale ordinance was denied and a 12-month county moratorium followed. As of 2026-09-10, the record's cancelled status remains accurate and is now more strongly confirmed. Newberry County Council unanimously voted to DENY the land-sale ordinance in June 2026, then on 2026-07-15 confirmed a 12-month moratorium on accepting any new data-center permits countywide.
