Environmental groups and local residents in Stokes County, North Carolina, have filed a lawsuit against the countys decision to rezone nearly two thousand acres for a massive data center, Project Delta. The plaintiffs argue that the board skipped required procedures and analysis under state law. The data center, which would be larger than anything the rural county has seen, has raised concerns about strained roads, water supplies, and power grids, as well as potential health risks from noise, lights, and air pollution. Across North Carolina, pushback is growing against data centers, with moratoriums and talks of pauses in more spots. The lawsuit heads to court soon, where a judge will review if the rezoning followed the rules. Communities are demanding real benefits and protections to avoid getting shortchanged by these big developments.
