Why this Forsyth County resident is opposing a data center ahead of vote
A Forsyth County resident is actively opposing a proposed 130-acre hyperscale data center project in Rural Hall due to environmental and community impact concerns. This opposition comes ahead of an upcoming vote by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners on rezoning for the project.
Forsyth County resident Sarah Mosseller is vocalizing her opposition to a proposed 130-acre hyperscale data center project in Rural Hall, North Carolina. Mosseller, a breast cancer survivor, expressed deep personal concerns about the potential environmental and community impacts of the development, stating that increased risks from corporations are "a real thing" for her. She also highlighted the insult of a corporation potentially undermining the hard work homeowners put into their properties.
Mosseller is urging community members to make their voices heard at an upcoming vote by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners on July 30, which will determine whether to allow rezoning for the project. Her involvement stems from a desire to support her neighbors and community against what she perceives as corporate disregard for local well-being.
