We want your take on data centers in Cumberland County. Vote in our poll

Data centers, vital for powering AI and various online activities, have emerged as a contentious subject in public discussions within Fayetteville and Cumberland County, North Carolina. Developers are reportedly exploring potential sites in the county for these projects. While data centers are recognized for their potential to create jobs and generate revenue, they also come with significant demands for power and water, particularly the larger "hyperscale" facilities. The Fayetteville Observer has launched a poll to gather community feedback on data centers and to understand how residents believe city and county leaders should address their development.
