Developer seeks annexation to build ‘medium’ size data center in Southeast Raleigh

The Raleigh City Council is set to vote on annexing a 14-acre property in Southeast Raleigh for a proposed 100,000-square-foot data center by developers B3-SFRE JSR LLC and Beacon Partners. The project, which requires 12 megawatts of power and access to city water, faces opposition from current and former council members over environmental concerns and the city's lack of specific data center regulations. Opponents are advocating for a moratorium on new facilities.
