Sanford Council discusses draft rules for data centers

The Sanford Council discussed draft rules for data centers in Lee County, North Carolina, focusing on zoning, environmental impacts, noise, and utility provisions. The proposed regulations, modeled after those in other states, include restrictions on height, building materials, setbacks, and water usage, with a public hearing scheduled for April 21. If approved, the rules would be immediately effective in Sanford.
