Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, August 25, 2026 —
Spartanburg County, SC – The Spartanburg County Board of Zoning Appeals has unanimously voted to uphold a previous decision denying the construction of a 200,000-square-foot data center proposed for Jones Road.
The initial denial was issued by county planning and development staff. Their decision was based on alleged violations of the Unified Land Management Ordinance. Additionally, staff cited concerns regarding a potential upcoming moratorium on new data center applications within the county.
The Board of Zoning Appeals’ affirmation of this denial means the proposed data center project will not proceed at this location under the current application. Further details regarding the specific alleged violations of the Unified Land Land Management Ordinance were not immediately available. The potential moratorium mentioned by planning staff suggests a broader review of data center development policies in Spartanburg County.
No further information was provided regarding potential alternative locations for the data center or any next steps by the applicant.
