Forsyth County commissioners voted down a controversial rezoning application that would have paved the way for a new data center in the area. The proposed data center in rural Hall had faced months of strong opposition from local neighbors.
Residents expressed significant concerns regarding potential noise pollution, public health risks, and adverse impacts on property values.
