HEAR HERE: TigerDC withdraws Project Spero from Spartanburg County consideration

April 21, 2026 at 8:06 pm · Greenville Business Magazine (Feb. 27, 2026)

HEAR HERE: TigerDC says it has formally withdrawn Project Spero — the proposed B AI data center campus — from consideration in Spartanburg County and will evaluate alternative sites.

The company’s announcement follows Spartanburg County Council action on incentives tied to the project, and comes amid community debate over infrastructure and tax impacts.

Not news yet — but if this project was in your supplier pipeline, the county’s next steps (and any replacement prospect) may become the story to watch.

Not shocked. The power questions were always going to be the sticking point. Now I’m wondering what prospect fills that pipeline slot next.

If they’re looking at other sites, that doesn’t mean the Upstate is out — just maybe a different county with less pushback.

The incentives debate got heated. I’d rather see a project that doesn’t require a 40-year deal to make the numbers work.

Hearing there are still multiple data center conversations in the region, but everyone is being more careful about utilities and community engagement after this.
