Data Centers on Hold in Davidson County | Winston–Salem News

Davidson County commissioners are considering a six-month pause on new data center construction amid growing community concern over water, energy, and land use impacts. Residents cite real-world examples of pollution, noise, and rising costs from similar developments elsewhere, urging the county to research long-term effects before moving forward. While some argue a blanket ban may be too broad, others stress the need to protect farmland, clean water, and quality of life — values they say can’t be traded for economic gain. Commissioners have heard the outcry but haven’t set a decision date, leaving the community on edge as the debate continues.
