🚨🚨🚨 Appreciate Fairfield County Council and County Council candidates for attending the Data Centers Public Hearing to hear directly from residents. Listening to constituents is critical—especially with possible upcoming state legislation. Was your candidate there? Your state Representative was there and listening to you!
Ordnance 856
Resolution 2026-08

Key Details of the County's Actions Not a Permanent Ban:
Leaders emphasize that the 12-month pause is not a permanent prohibition on data centers. Instead, it halts new applications while the county studies potential impacts.

County-Owned Property Ban:
The council already approved a separate resolution that explicitly bans data center development on county-owned property and prohibits selling county land for data center use.

Study Goals:
During the year-long pause, officials plan to evaluate infrastructure demands, including heavy water usage and high electricity needs, alongside noise concerns and community standards, before drafting clear regulations. You can check official updates via the Fairfield County Official Website.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fairfield County, SC, has taken decisive action regarding data center developments, balancing interest in economic growth with community concerns over resource management and zoning.

Current Status & Legislative Action
* Temporary Moratorium: Fairfield County Council introduced and passed measures instituting a 12-month moratorium on accepting or approving new data center applications.
* County Property Prohibition: A separate resolution (2006-08) passed prohibiting data centers from being built on county-owned land.
* Purpose of the Pause: County officials emphasized that the pause is intended to allow time to evaluate infrastructure impacts—specifically high demand on local electric grids, water consumption for cooling systems, noise levels, and fiber access—and to establish clear land-use regulations before any long-term commitments are made.

Key Factors Driving Regulation
Primary Concerns & Considerations:
| Utilities & Water |
Large-scale facilities require substantial water for cooling and continuous high-voltage electrical draw.

| Zoning & Land Use |
Leaders are defining clear buffer zones, setbacks, and noise mitigation rules for industrial data operations.

| Statewide Guidance |
County leaders anticipate potential state-level regulatory frameworks or guidelines during the moratorium period to standardise rules across South Carolina to avoid duplication.
