Spartanburg County Council is scheduled to consider third reading of an ordinance imposing a moratorium on new data center development applications at its meeting on Sep. 21, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item, as published, describes third reading on “an Ordinance imposing a Moratorium on the acceptance, processing or approval of development applications for data centers and all other land use or development approvals for data centers.” A separate agenda item calls for third reading on an ordinance to amend an agreement for development, according to the agenda.
