Rural Hall Council Backtracks on Data Center

Rural Hall’s town council just flipped its stance on the controversial “Project Iron Spur” data center — a 130-acre development poised to bring revenue but sparking fierce local debate. After initially voting against it, the council reversed course at a special meeting, siding with Mayor Terry Bennett, who argued annexation would fund the town. But residents aren’t convinced — some call it a betrayal, others question the mayor’s claims of overwhelming public support. With Forsyth County set to weigh in on July 30th, the fate of this massive project hangs in the balance. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
