Original caption
Great news out of North Carolina! A developer withdrew a planned data center in Apex, North Carolina, after residents in the southwestern Wake County town pushed back, and Apex leaders separately approved a one year suspension on future data center development. Wendell commissioners approved their own moratorium on data centers through December 31, 2026. The pauses reflect a wider trend across central North Carolina, where county boards are requiring pre-application meetings, noise studies, and water and electricity confirmation notices before data center projects can move forward. #NorthCarolina #DataCenters #Apex
