Rockingham City Council approves rezoning request for data center in split vote

The Rockingham City Council approved a rezoning request for 165 acres on Old Cheraw Highway from high density residential to conditional light industrial for a proposed $1.2 billion data center project by Terra Nexus. The decision came after a public hearing where most residents, citing environmental and property value concerns, opposed the measure. Despite strong opposition, the council voted 4-1 in favor, anticipating significant tax base growth and infrastructure improvements for the city.
