RICHMOND COUNTY, N.C. — Richmond County Commissioners voted on Tuesday night to approve incentives for a new, large-scale development known as Project Blue Marlin. Officials believe this project could become one of the largest economic developments in North Carolina‘s history.

Details about Project Blue Marlin remain scarce. However, the incentive agreement indicates that the developer is planning to establish one or more data centers at the site. This venture is expected to involve more than $10 billion in capital investment and create hundreds of high-paying jobs in the region.
