Chatham County, N.C., commissioners unanimously OK zoning change for data center rules; hearing Nov. 30

In a special meeting Thursday, Chatham County commissioners voted unanimously to change a zoning ordinance so language about data centers can be added, and scheduled a public hearing for Nov. 30 on development standards. The county adopted a temporary moratorium in February, which a property owner has challenged in court over a planned 750-megawatt data center near Moncure.
