Stokes County seeks public input on data center zoning regulations
Stokes County's planning board is holding a public hearing on proposed zoning changes for data centers. This follows recent resident concerns about a planned data center near Walnut Cove. The changes aim to establish a formal definition for data centers and update review processes.
Stokes County residents will have another opportunity this week to provide input on local data center regulations. The county's planning board is scheduled to hold a public hearing to discuss several proposed zoning changes. These changes include formalizing a definition for data centers and other updates intended to modify the review process for future facility plans.
The public hearing comes shortly after residents again expressed concerns regarding a proposed data center project near Walnut Cove during a recent information session hosted by the unnamed developer. The meeting is set for 6 p.m. at the Stokes County Administration Building in Danbury.
