Vance Commissioners Set Public Comment Period Sept. 14 To Consider Data Center Moratorium, Zoning Amendment Info
The Vance County Board of Commissioners has scheduled a public hearing to discuss a proposed 60-day moratorium on data center development applications and a new zoning ordinance amendment. This hearing, set for September 14, will allow the public to provide comments on these measures impacting future data center projects in the county.
The Vance County Board of Commissioners has scheduled a legislative hearing for Monday, September 14, at 6 p.m. to gather public feedback on two significant proposals concerning data center development. The hearing, open to the public, will take place in the commissioners' meeting room at the county administrative office building.
The first proposal under consideration is the potential adoption of a 60-day moratorium. This ordinance would temporarily halt the acceptance, processing, and approval of new development applications for data centers submitted within Vance County following the moratorium's adoption.
Additionally, the commissioners will hear comments on a proposed amendment to the county's zoning ordinance specifically designed to address future data center development. Residents with questions about these measures are encouraged to contact the Vance County Planning Department. Special accommodations for individuals with disabilities wishing to attend the meeting can be arranged by contacting the clerk to the board by September 11.
