Provider notes
Community. Union County Council tabled the first reading of the FILOT ordinance for Project Alpaca on 2026-04-28 and cancelled a May 12, 2026 public hearing after resident concerns raised at a community listening session; council said the project would need to be reintroduced, with a public information forum required before any further tax-agreement decision.
What the source record says
Site address per the Union County Development Board's own park page is 265 Midway Drive, Union, SC 29379 (a secondary source gave 260 Midway Drive; the two geocode ~40m apart, consistent with the same industrial park). Coordinates geocoded from that street address via the US Census geocoder — not stated as facility coordinates by any source, and the industrial park spans multiple parcels so the specific building footprint is unconfirmed. No source names an AI-specific workload for this site, so aiClassification is omitted.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

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.
