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

Greenville city sues developer of swanky McDaniel townhomes. The Swamp Rabbit Trail is one reason.

GREENVILLE — The McDaniel, the upscale townhome project in suspended animation that for a year has been under legal siege by an array of contractors, now has a new adversary: the city of Greenville.

The city is not only demanding compensation but also financial punishment. In 2024, a year after it was announced, work abruptly stopped on the second phase of The McDa...
