Cielo Digital Infrastructure, LLC, a provider of data center infrastructure, said it selected Cherokee County to establish its first South Carolina development project.
The company plans to invest approximately $2.1 billion in the data center. The investment is expected to create 30 jobs, according to Gov. Henry McMaster’s office.
Cielo facilitates the expansion of digital infrastructure deployments by identifying sites ideal for data center development.
With a focus on energy access and resilience, the company seeks to provide reliable and cost-effective solutions for customers, according to McMaster’s office.
Located along Ford Road in Gaffney, Cielo plans to develop a data center campus consisting of four facilities, each approximately 400,000 square feet, along with an associated electrical substation.
“We look forward to advancing on a site that we think offers connectivity and critical energy access to support data center development,” said Cielo Digital Infrastructure Senior Vice President C.J. Maier.
Maier added, “Cherokee County and the state of South Carolina have been superb to work with while creating an environment welcoming to growth in key areas, such as technology infrastructure.”
Initial operations are expected to be online by year-end 2028.
McMaster’s office said hiring information will be made available closer to the start of operations.
