Handwashing, food temperature issues cited at Anderson County restaurants

Four Anderson County food establishments fell below the "78" score threshold for a "C" rating in October 2026 restaurant inspection reports, according to the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. Inspectors conducted routine inspections throughout the month and ordered follow-up inspections within 10 days for facilities that received failing scores. In our coverage of food inspections around Anderson County, we categorize violations into two types: priority and priority foundation. Priority violations are those that pose the highest risk of causing foodborne illness and identify contributing factors that could lead to illness.

Pickens County pumps brakes on data center development

Pickens County Council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed six-month moratorium on new data center development Nov. 2, giving county officials time to study how the rapidly growing industry could affect the county and what regulations may be needed before projects move forward. The ordinance, identified as No. 694, would temporarily pause data center development while county leaders evaluate zoning, infrastructure and land-use considerations related to the facilities. The proposal advanced by unanimous vote, with all council members present voting in favor of a first reading. The main topic of the first reading was the county council's desire to make Pickens County a safe area from the environmental risks posed by a data center. "I see it more as giving people peace of mind," Council Chair Alex Saitta said. "I don't support them, I'm not going to vote for one, and I wouldn't imagine the majority up here won't." The vote comes weeks after county officials publicly acknowledged that a real estate agent put in an inquiry to the county to gauge its interest in hosting a data center. During an Oct. 5 council meeting, County Administrator Ken Roper said a developer had inquired about Pickens County's "appetite

Spartanburg County Council advances three data center projects

Second reading of an ordinance authorizing a development agreement between Spartanburg County Council and Valara Holdings, the company developing a data center campus on South Pine Street , was approved at a special meeting on Nov. 3. But while the first reading passed with one dissenting vote, this time there were two. Grant DeShields joined Monier Abusaft in voting against the measure. "Valara got a 'no' vote from me because I wasn't happy with the agreement," DeShields said after the meeting. The development agreement is part of a tax incentive package council members approved in 2025 and is intended to make sure that Valara, a subsidiary of NorthMark Strategies, goes beyond minimum noise, light and air quality requirements. Council members Jessica Coker, Paul Abbott, Jack Mabry and chairman Manning Lynch voted in favor of the ordinance. A third and final vote on the measure could come later in November. One aspect of the $2.8 project that is unusual among industrial developments locally is that Valara is constructing its own power generation facility. The roughly 450-megawatt power plant will supply electricity for the data center. It is also the source of worries that nearby residents have about potential air pollution. Residents

Republicans sweep races for Spartanburg County Council

With ongoing community agitation over the issue of data center developments, it's a season of change for the Spartanburg County Council . The Republican Party, however, will maintain its grip on local political offices. There will be a new council chair, Republican William Crawford , and three new district representatives -- GOP nominees Jason Seay, Betty Montgomery and Alex Turner. In the GOP primary for District 2, Seay defeated incumbent Jack Mabry, and Turner ousted Jessica Coker in District 6. Montgomery won the District 5 Republican primary to replace Bob Walker, who did not seek another term. Signs of sweeping change on county council were suggested by the March announcement by current chair Manning Lynch that he would not seek a third term. He cited the controversy surrounding Project Spero, the code name for a tax incentive package for a data center project that was initially green-lighted but ultimately rejected by council. Crawford, a small-business owner who lost a 2018 race to represent District 2, defeated political newcomer Mike Stacy in a GOP runoff . Crawford said he opposed Project Spero, though he was viewed as the more business-friendly candidate in the runoff. In the general election, he defeated Democrat
