Episode Details

Richmond County residents are sounding the alarm over a proposed $1.2 billion data center that could bring just 30 jobs, sparking fierce debate as neighbors worry about environmental and economic costs. The company promises to slash water use with a closed-loop cooling system and plans multiple buildings—not just one. State Rep. Ben Moss, who once owned the land, urges greater transparency, calling for community input before final decisions. While the planning board has already approved rezoning, city council must still hold a public hearing—likely this Tuesday. Meanwhile, Waxhaw is taking a cautious step, proposing a one-year moratorium to study the long-term impacts of data centers on local communities.
