Stokes County, North Carolina, is considering a zoning amendment to allow data centers in heavy manufacturing zones, coinciding with a rezoning request for Project Delta, a proposed data center on 1,800 acres near US 311. The project, backed by local developer David Couch and Engineered Land Solutions, aims to establish a facility with significant energy capacity and infrastructure. However, it faces opposition, including a petition with over 2,600 signatures from Clean Water for North Carolina, citing concerns over local heritage.
