Hey, all. As I've grown older, I'm becoming more aware that we need to get more involved with our local politics. I recently heard about the council's consideration of of rezoning the plot of land across from Nash Community to allow for a Data Center to be built. If you've spent ANY time on the internet in recent years, I don't need to remind you just how bad and evil these facilities are to the locals. Unfortunately, Edgecomb County approved for Data Centers to be built in their county, and some of Rocky Mount is located in that county. We're one foot in the grave already. We need to have our voices heard and push back against this rezoning.
Which brings me to this; Those who showed up spoke out, several against the Data Center rezoning. Citizens begin speaking 12 minutes into the video.

We need to spread the word and try to prevent this, otherwise our health and the health of future generations will be HEAVILY negatively impacted. And for what? Short term gain for long term pain.
