## Resource

Colleton County stands at a crossroads as it weighs the promise of new data centers against the fears of local farmers. A newly created digital infrastructure zone could bring much-needed revenue to fund schools and services, but farmers warn it threatens their water supply and land—especially in drought-stricken times. While some residents see tech as the key to economic survival, others see it as a gamble with their livelihoods. With no permits filed yet, the county remains deeply divided, caught between progress and preservation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
