The Campbell County Board of Supervisors will hold a hearing to review the zoning approval for a data center proposed by MESH Capital LLC in the Concord District. The zoning administrator previously determined that the project's plans met local zoning requirements.

Following a petition from a nearby resident, the board will assess the zoning decision at a work session on Tuesday. The 57-acre parcel is currently zoned for heavy industrial use, allowing data centers by-right, but a recent emergency ordinance has shifted data centers to requiring special-use permits.

This change necessitates board approval and resident input for future developments. The board voted to delay the final decision on the ordinance by 120 days for further discussion. If the board affirms the zoning decision, MESH Capital can proceed with project plans; if overturned, the company can still develop the site under existing heavy industrial zoning conditions.
