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

Johnson wins race for NC House 113 after taxes fueled contest

HENDERSON COUNTY - A powerful legislative insider faced a former presidential pilot who wanted to shake up Raleigh. Republican state Rep. Jake Johnson and Democrat John Morgan competed for North Carolina House District 113, covering Polk County and portions of Henderson, McDowell and Rutherford counties, in a contest centered on affordability, education and government accountability. Johnson, a Saluda native, won election to the Polk County Board of Commissioners in 2016 before being appointed to the General Assembly in 2019. He entered the contest as House deputy majority whip, with leadership roles overseeing state government and information technology. Morgan, a retired Air Force pilot, flew reconnaissance missions during the Vietnam War and later aircraft carrying Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He also served as a Saluda city commissioner. The candidates clashed over a proposed constitutional amendment requiring the legislature to limit local property tax increases . Johnson supported the measure, citing excessive local spending. Morgan opposed it, arguing Republican lawmakers were undermining local control. On affordability, Johnson emphasized increasing electricity generation and investing in water and sewer infrastructure to encourage housing construction. Morgan advocated targeted tax relief, stronger utility oversight and programs connecting renters with affordable housing. Education produced

Groundbreaking Held for 10 Affordable Housing Units in Sterling

At the corner of Calhoun and Jenkins streets, a modest two-story brick building became a legend to generations of high school students in the Sterling Community. The Huddle gained its fame from grilled-cheese sandwiches, cherry cola floats, and a jukebox that played a steady stream of Motown, Stax, and even the raspy howls and banging piano of the internationally famous musician Esquerita, who was better known among his fellow Sterling High alums as Eskew Reeder.
