Opposition and litigation at this site

Yes. Organized local opposition to Project Liberty (Stream Data Centers, Marion County Industrial Park) in Marion, Marion County, South Carolina is documented in the public record, without a lawsuit on file in the sources we track.

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.

Marion County Council approved the FILOT/incentive package under NDAs across three readings in January 2026, before residents were publicly informed of the project (then code-named Eagle Myra LLC / Project Liberty). Residents organized (via the United People Project) citing lack of transparency and drought/water-use concerns; the developer's own June 2026 withdrawal statement cited only utility timing, not the opposition, as the reason.
