Data center zoning denied, but with conditions

The Stokes County planning board denied a conditional zoning application for "Project Delta," a proposed AI computation center in Walnut Cove, with a 5-2 advisory vote. This decision came amidst ongoing, heated opposition activities, including reports of harassment and death threats. Concerns about electricity and water usage were central to the discussions, despite proposed conditions addressing environmental impacts, and the decision now moves to the county commissioners.
