The company located outside of South Carolina is being referred to as Project Cobra.
It could bring a data center to the Lake Wylie area and would create about 12 full-time jobs over eight years.
In exchange, they’d receive tax incentives from the county.
Officials said that despite the small number of jobs created, the high-dollar investment in the county qualifies the company for tax incentives.
Council will discuss and vote on this issue again at a meeting on June 20.
