We almost named this episode "Why Data Centers Are Awesome" just so it would show up in your feed. That tells you everything you need to know about today's conversation.

We are Dan and Angel, two California transplants living and working in the Lowcountry. This is the episode we were nervous to make. We are saying it out loud anyway.

Data centers are coming to South Carolina fast. Google has committed to a $9 billion investment through 2027 in Berkeley and Dorchester Counties. A separate company has proposed an 860-acre, $6 billion campus right next to the ACE Basin in Colleton County. And South Carolina has no official system for tracking how many centers exist, how much water they are drawing, or how much power they are consuming.

We follow the money, look at what protections exist for ratepayers, and talk about the bill that would have changed things and died on May 14th. We also cover what the national resistance looks like, because it is real, organized, and winning in some places.

We are not anti-technology. We are two realtors who live here and think you deserve the full picture before you make the most important financial decision of your life. No other real estate channel in this area is having this conversation.

Stick around for the Gen X Fun Fact at the end. It brings this all full circle.

This might need a Part 2. You will see why.

Thinking about moving to South Carolina? We specialize in Dorchester, Berkeley, and Charleston Counties. Join us every Tuesday at 7 pm for our weekly live relocation conversation.
