Notes on the record

Proposed for Tyger River Industrial Park-North in Spartanburg County. Local coverage put the investment at roughly $3 billion, but the fetched source describes it only as 'multibillion-dollar', so no investment figure is asserted here. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the Tyger River Industrial Park area. Distinct from both the tracked Greenidge Spartanburg record and the NorthMark/Valara site. Re-checked 2026-09-10: 'cancelled' status remains accurate. TigerDC formally withdrew Project Spero on 2026-02-27 after Spartanburg County Council declined to offer a tax incentive amid sustained public opposition; TigerDC said it will look at other, more receptive communities but no replacement SC site has been named.

  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it

Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
