Community Invited to Town Hall Meeting on Data Centers
Salisbury, N.C. (Tuesday, April 7, 2026) – Salisbury residents are invited to a Town Hall conversation about data centers on Tuesday, April 14, 6 p.m. at City Park Recreation Center, 316 Lake Drive. The goal of the event is to engage with residents about data centers by listening to concerns and providing information.
City Manager Jim Greene hopes the community will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about data centers, their role in modern-day economic infrastructure and how city zoning impacts these projects.
“There are currently about 100 data processing centers operating or being planned in North Carolina. We want to be open and transparent about possible projects and hope that residents will come and share their questions and concerns with City staff and industry professionals” says Greene.
Staff from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities, the Fire Department, Land and Development Services and other city representatives will be on hand to speak directly with participants about environmental, infrastructure, noise and any other issues and concerns. Additionally, subject matter experts on data center development will attend to share facts and information on a potential project in the City.
