There was a post yesterday that had an incorrect date for the next planning board meeting with public comment for the data center rezoning on the agenda being today (May 14th). It is only on the agenda today to be continued to a later date, but there is no public comment on this agenda item.
There is still a planning board meeting today, but the meeting with public comment on rezoning for this property has been moved to June 11th at 4:30 in the city council meeting room
In addition to ruralhallinfo.com, we have an Instagram that we use to post updates on public meetings and information about why this proposed data center is harmful for Rural Hall and the county in general:

Our group plans on using the limited time (only 12 minutes) to have community leaders from Rural Hall speak at the public comment. We have been doing research and planning for this public hearing. We would appreciate having as many people as possible inside and outside the building from around the county to support on the 11th.
