Byrd Farms Technology Campus
Byrd Farms LLC. Denied.
A roughly 944 acre data center proposal called Byrd Farms Technology Campus, east of Louisville Road in Columbia County, was denied 4-1 by county commissioners on February 3-4, 2026. Commission chairman Doug Duncan said the board could not identify a confirmed end user for the project, which was the largest and most heavily opposed of three data center proposals decided that night. As of the most recent reporting there is no indication the applicant has resubmitted or appealed.
