Residents protest possible data center in Rowan County

Residents of Rowan County, NC, are actively protesting a potential data center project along Long Ferry Road, citing a lack of transparency and environmental concerns. They have gathered over 5,000 petition signatures and are demanding a moratorium on the project and independent environmental studies. The county council is set to discuss a one-year moratorium for future data center developments, but this would not apply to the project currently under protest.
