What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Residents gathered at the Surfside Beach Town Council chambers on November 11, 2026, regarding a proposed annexation of a 2.3-acre storage facility. The council pulled the annexation’s second reading from the agenda. DC Blox plans to add an AI inference point at the site, a project Mayor Robert Krouse stated is separate from the annexation vote. The Mayor noted the inference point would be a smaller facility requiring less power and no water for cooling.
