AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Data Center Fight in Spartanburg: Residents and the Southern Environmental Law Center packed a South Carolina Public Service Commission hearing over Valara Holdings’ proposed ~$3 billion, 900,000+ sq.-ft data center—arguing the company’s natural gas power plant should trigger additional state review under the Utility Facility Siting and Environmental Protection Act. Hazmat Incident: A tanker truck carrying about 2,300 gallons of highly reactive diphenylmethane exploded in a Denny’s parking lot in Spartanburg, forcing the restaurant to close and triggering decontamination of employees. Drought Relief for Farmers: The USDA designated 10 South Carolina counties as primary natural disaster areas due to drought, making Williamsburg County and nearby producers eligible for emergency loans to recover from drought losses. Local Water Resilience: Greenwood County advanced a $3.84M grant to buy out and demolish flood-prone Fox Hollow Townhomes, aiming to turn the area into permanent open space. Wildlife & Health: South Carolina reported West Nile-positive mosquitoes, while a Myrtle Beach copperhead bite sent a woman on a three-hospital hunt for antivenom. Raptor Migration Talk: Conserving Carolina and the Landrum Library host a free lecture Aug. 18 on fall raptor migration in the South Carolina mountains.
