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.

Reported lifecycle history

  1. Proposed

    S.C. Department of Commerce announced QTS's first South Carolina campus, a $1 billion investment in unincorporated York County.

    Underlying source
  2. Under construction

    York County states construction began in 2025, with nine buildings in various stages of development and site plans vested ahead of the county's July 2026 moratorium.

Source notes

Site is near Hands Mill Highway and Campbell Road in unincorporated York County (Clover area). York County sold 173 acres to QTS on 2023-07-26; QTS also purchased additional private land, so total campus acreage exceeds the county-sold figure. Investment reflects the $1 billion figure in the 2023 state announcement; York County's current page cites 'over $8 billion' in committed long-term investment for the campus. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Hands Mill Highway. As of 2026-09-13, the SC Commerce announcement states no megawatt capacity figure and describes QTS only in generic colocation terms, so the AI classification cannot be confirmed for this specific site: an AI/GPU/HPC claim must be site-specific, not inferred from the operator's general business description. No community reception (support, opposition, hearings, or council votes) is documented in this source beyond standard economic-development congratulatory statements from the Governor, York County Council Chairwoman, and Secretary of Commerce, which describe state/county officials' reaction to the investment announcement, not documented public reception of the site by residents, so the community status is not characterized from them. As of September 2026, searches of the York County government site and the web, and attempts to read bizjournals.com and heraldonline.com, produced no capacity figure, AI classification or community reception, but bizjournals.com and heraldonline.com could not be read, so the search was inconclusive and is not a confirmed absence. As of October 2026, QTS's own York County campus page (q.com, the domain qtsdatacenters.com now redirects to) states an $8 billion investment and nine buildings in three phases, and gives no megawatt capacity.
