South Carolina Sees Major Economic Boost: $125M Data Center Expansion, Federal Funding, and Tech Growth Drive State's Prosperity
South Carolina continues to see robust economic activity this week, with several major developments reshaping the state's business landscape. DartPoints announced a 125 million dollar expansion of its data center operations in Greenville County, expected to create ten jobs and add 88,000 square feet of capacity to support growing demand for AI, research, and data analytics workloads. Governor Henry McMaster emphasized the company's confidence in the region's talent and business environment, positioning South Carolina as a leader in technology infrastructure.
On the infrastructure front, Senator Lindsey Graham secured significant federal funding for multiple projects across the state as part of the fiscal year 2026 government funding package. Clemson University will receive 4.5 million dollars for equipment at its new veterinary school, while Joint Base Charleston receives 33 million dollars for an aeromedical evacuation facility for the Air Force Reserve. Several municipalities also benefited, with Tega Cay securing 534,000 dollars for fire department equipment, Blythewood receiving 1.25 million dollars for fire station improvements, and Central obtaining 2 million dollars for similar upgrades.
Construction projects continue to shape communities statewide. Greenville Technical College is building a 25 million dollar Center for Workforce Development featuring specialized welding labs, metal-inert-gas welding stations, robotics programs, and fabrication facilities, with completion expected in September 2026. At Clemson University, the 40 million dollar renovation of Littlejohn Coliseum and Swann Pavilion is advancing, while Columbia's Gather COLA project nears completion this quarter, bringing dining, retail, and office space to the BullStreet District.
Economic data shows South Carolina's advanced manufacturing sector continues flourishing. The South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center in Greenville has tripled its economic impact since 2017, now generating 6.1 billion dollars annually for the state, with 5.9 billion dollars concentrated in the Upstate. The center hosts over 100 companies including major firms like Lockheed Martin, Michelin, and 3M.
On the election front, the State House District 98 Special Runoff took place November 18th, impacting voters across 22 Dorchester County precincts.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch for continued infrastructure developments at major universities and military installations, ongoing commercial construction projects, and economic development announcements that continue positioning South Carolina as an attractive location for technology and manufacturing investment.
