Hello, South Carolina!

Aiken County, South Carolina, will be home to our newest Meta owned and operated data center — our 22nd data center in the U.S. and 26th in the world. This 715,000-square-foot campus will be part of our global infrastructure that helps bring our technologies and services to life.

Once completed, the Aiken Data Center will represent an investment of more than $800 million and support approximately 100 jobs. We anticipate that more than 1,000 construction workers will be onsite at the peak of construction. Job opportunities for the data center will be on the Meta Careers page in a few weeks. For construction information, please check the DPR Construction website.

Aiken County is an outstanding location for Meta to call home for a number of reasons. It provides good access to infrastructure and renewable energy, it has a strong pool of talent, and we have found a great set of community partners that have helped us move this project forward. We’re thrilled to be a new member of the Aiken County community and are committed to investing in its long-term vitality.

Meta custom designs and builds our own industry-leading infrastructure at scale, and we prioritize efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. Once operational, the Aiken Data Center will be optimized for our AI workloads and help people connect, build communities and grow their businesses.

We strive to be a positive contributor in communities like Aiken County, and that includes investing in renewables. Meta will work with Aiken Electric Cooperative to add new renewable energy to the grid.

Meta is proud to work alongside Governor Henry McMaster, the Aiken County Government, Western SC EDP, S.C. Department of Commerce, Aiken Electric Cooperative, INC, DPR Construction, and all of our partners that have helped get us to today. We look forward to having a strong partnership for years to come.
