A second paper trail · Marion County, South Carolina
The project left. The questions did not.
Project Liberty was reported as an $800 million data center. The existing record now says Stream withdrew after community opposition and utility power-timing problems. Before that exit, reporting described a deal that was kept unusually quiet. The record supports a disclosure question—not a conspiracy theory.
What the record actually says
The FracTracker record marks an NDA as confirmed and identifies the proposal as a 2-million-square-foot, 400-acre project. Its source trail also carries the reported $2.4 billion project-cost field, but that is a dataset figure—not proof of money spent or public money committed.
Capital B reported on a secret data-center deal in Marion County. Data Center Dynamics reported that Stream later pulled out, citing the time required for utility power. The proposal had also faced community opposition. Those reports establish competing pieces of the timeline; they do not establish why every decision was made or who ultimately bore a cost.
