- Waxhaw to hold public hearing on proposed yearlong data center freeze
Waxhaw, Union County, S.C., will hold a public hearing on August 11, 2026, to discuss a proposed 12-month moratorium on approving data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities. The pause aims to allow time for research and policy development, including updates to the town’s Land Development Code, to address infrastructure, environmental, and operational impacts. Similar moratoriums have been implemented in Charlotte and Chester County.
