Stokes County is set to host two public meetings to discuss a proposed 1,800-acre data center development. This development follows recent actions by the county board, which in June recommended 14 changes to an existing ordinance. These recommended changes are part of an ongoing effort to ensure the ordinance conforms with state law, as detailed on the county's website. The public meetings will provide an opportunity for community members to learn more about the project and offer their input.
