Last update: 3 hours ago

AI + Cooling Boom: Airsys Cooling Technologies opened a $60M, 60-acre global headquarters campus in Woodruff, aiming to scale high-efficiency, zero-water cooling for fast-growing AI and data centers, with manufacturing slated for 2027 and 215 new jobs. Energy + Local Impacts: South Carolina regulators approved Dominion and Santee Cooper’s Canadys Station, a 2,200-megawatt natural gas plant in Colleton County—clearing the way for a major new power source while critics warn about environmental and community effects. Drought + Water Stress: Extreme drought is dropping water levels across parts of the state, exposing hazards for boaters and prompting voluntary water restrictions. Wildlife + Ongoing Mystery: Lake Greenwood’s fish kill appears to be over, but the cause still hasn’t been pinned down. Public Health + Leadership Shakeup: Dr. Ed Simmer’s interim role at the Department of Public Health ended after the legislature adjourned, amid years of political controversy. Local Economy + Jobs: Scout Motors opened a $25M training center in Blythewood to prepare workers as production ramps up.
