Ram Bay Industrial Park Data Center

Manning, Clarendon County, SC

A new data center, Ram Bay Industrial Park Data Center, has been announced in Manning, SC. Very early-stage, unofficial proposal at Ram Bay Industrial Park in Clarendon County (Manning); Santee Electric has signed a contract with an as-yet-unnamed data center operator to potentially secure a building at the site. County officials estimate roughly $4.5 million/year in tax revenue if it proceeds, say they have no financial stake or authority to block it, and disputed claims of major water impact, citing closed-loop cooling recycling about 40,000 gallons internally. A data center moratorium had its first of three required council readings on August 10, 2026.
