What the source record says
Sage Mill Industrial Park, Graniteville. 715,000 sq ft; Meta's 22nd US data center. Explicitly optimized for AI workloads. Administration building constructed with mass timber. Expected operational spring 2027. Coordinates are Graniteville area centroid. Subsidies lane checked 2026-09-10: Aiken County offered property-tax breaks to Meta as early as 2023, under the pre-announcement code name 'Project Sabal' and intermediary 'Starskey LLC'. No dollar figure or FILOT ordinance number found this run -- not filing a structured subsidies entry, flagging the lane for a follow-up pass to locate the actual FILOT agreement/ordinance.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
