The data center, dark fiber, cable landing station and connectivity solutions provider plans to use the lot to construct a new data center facility for infrastructure to support regional digital businesses. The facility – which will be located in the Camp Hill commerce park – will be the company’s third data center in the state. Preliminary plans include four buildings totaling approximately 200,000 square feet and 45MW of planned power, with build-tosuit options also available. DC BLOX is separately building a new high-capacity dark fiber route between its Myrtle Beach, S.C., Cable Landing Station (CLS) and Atlanta. This route will specifically run through Berkeley County, facilitating an express route to connectivity and data center hubs in Atlanta. Berkeley County is situated in close proximity to Charleston, S.C.; Google’s data center in Moncks Corner; and connectivity to the new DC BLOX CLS in Myrtle Beach. The CLS has been confirmed as the landing station for Google’s Firmina and Nuvem subsea cables, as well as Meta/Edge Holdings’ Anjana subsea cable. “As the need for digital infrastructure becomes increasingly paramount in today’s world, we are happy to welcome DC BLOX to our area,” said Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb. “We are confident this company’s new data center will serve as a critical asset for the information technology sector in our County, region and beyond.” “Our new Camp Hall location will be an attractive data center location for hyperscalers who have an immediate need for space and power to support AI/ML and other fast-growing applications,” said DC BLOX CEO Jeff Uphues. “In addition, the facility will offer access to high-capacity fiber to service their customers within the region, as well as globally.” ❐ For more information on DC BLOX, visit www.dcblox.com or meet with them at the show.
