Settlement bans data centers in most of Colleton County's ACE Basin

Original: Settlement bans data centers in most of Colleton County’s ACE Basin area

A settlement reached in Colleton County, South Carolina, prohibits data centers across most of the ACE Basin area, one of the largest undeveloped coastal ecosystems on the Atlantic coast. The agreement restricts large-scale data center development in this environmentally sensitive region, which conservationists have long sought to protect from industrial projects.

Why now: Data center expansion is a growing environmental flashpoint, and this settlement signals conservation wins over tech infrastructure in a prized ecological area.
