Raleigh data center plan withdrawn by developer
Bird Beacon Partners has withdrawn its plan to build a 100,000 square-foot data center on 13 acres in Southeast Raleigh, North Carolina. The Raleigh City Council had scheduled a public hearing for the project, which was to be built on land already zoned for industrial mixed-use, and dozens of people had signed up to speak.
Bird Beacon Partners has withdrawn its proposal to construct a 100,000 square-foot data center on 13 acres in southeast Raleigh, North Carolina. The planned facility, located on John Jones Sausage Road, was to be built on land already zoned for industrial mixed-use.
The Raleigh City Council had scheduled a public hearing regarding the project for an upcoming Tuesday, with dozens of residents having signed up to speak. However, Raleigh Councilwoman Megan Patton announced the developer's decision to pull the plan via a social media message late in the afternoon before the scheduled hearing, effectively blocking the project's advancement.
