Lee County, North Carolina Residents Demand Moratorium on Data Center Project

Lee County, North Carolina residents are demanding a pause on a proposed $900 million data center in Sanford, citing concerns about noise pollution, environmental impacts, and a lack of transparency during the rezoning process. Nearly 2,500 people have signed a petition for a moratorium on data centers and a release of public records, alleging they were misled about the project's true nature as a "light industrial business park" rather than a hyperscale data center.
