RICHMOND COUNTY, N.C. — Richmond County Commissioners voted to pass incentives for a mystery development called Project Blue Marlin.

Officials said it will be one of the largest economic development projects in state history. However, not much is known about the project.

But the incentive agreement said the developer is planning one or more data centers on the site.

And is planning more than $10 billion of capital investment with hundreds of high-paying jobs.

Commissioners said made the decision during a meeting Tuesday night.

They will be joined by Governor Josh Stein on Wednesday at a press conference to officially unveil the project.
