• Data centers near the South Carolina Lowcountry (thestate.com) — A massive OpenAI data center called Project Camellia is planned for the Rincon area, promising around 1,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent positions while raising concerns about water use, power demand, and tax incentives. The project, part of a $20 billion private investment, could generate tens of millions annually for Effingham County schools, even as protests grow over transparency and environmental impacts.
