Mount Pleasant, SC – Jenny Costa Honeycutt said in tonight’s debate that data centers “can be extremely valuable.” She has been loud and clear about her support for building data centers in the Lowcountry, saying “data centers should be here” in a forum earlier this year and invested $470,000 in stocks in data centers and AI companies. In stark contrast, Nancy Lacore has called for a moratorium on data centers being built in South Carolina and will fight for federal guardrails to ensure the costs fall on the corporations, not consumers, while protecting the Lowcountry’s natural resources.
