Project Delta is on hold after the rezoning of approximately 1,800 acres off Highway 311 near the Dan River has been rescinded by the Stokes County Commissioners, thanks to a lawsuit filed by SELC and SCSJ. The developer wants to use this land for a data center!

What happens next?

A representative for the developer, DFC Stokes, LLC, said the company is in the process of resubmitting a rezoning application that would mirror the original proposal. That means the project must clear every step of the approval process again, including public information meetings, planning board review, and a commissioner vote. This means the fight is not over!

Join us at this community meeting to:

  • strategize on how to stay updated with next steps
    • Advocacy on data center tax breaks
  • Learn how to connect with county commissioners to push for a county-wide data center moratorium
  • Connect with other concerned Stokes County members.

A moratorium on data centers in Stokes County would give the county time to study their impacts and have strong public engagement on whether data centers fit with the 2035 Land Use Plan and character of Stokes County.
