Is data center OK near east Charlotte nature preserve? Thousands say ‘no.’
Thousands of Charlotte residents are opposing American Tower Corporation's proposal to build a 40,000-square-foot data center in east Charlotte, near Reedy Creek Nature Preserve. A petition with over 3,100 signatures urges the City Council to reject the rezoning request, citing environmental, noise, and cost of living concerns. The City Council is expected to vote on the rezoning request as soon as May 18, following a public hearing.
