Sheetz Opens First Location in Selma; Raleigh Considers Data Center Annexation
Sheetz has opened its first store in Selma, NC, as part of the Eastfield development. Meanwhile, Raleigh City Council is evaluating a proposal for a 100,000-square-foot data center, facing public opposition and regulatory scrutiny.

Sheetz, a convenience store and gas station chain, launched its first location in Selma, North Carolina, on August 11, as part of the 435-acre Eastfield development, which includes commercial and residential projects. The Eastfield development, initiated in 2019, will house 211 single-family homes and a 348-unit multifamily complex, alongside a 500,000-square-foot shopping center anchored by Target.
Concurrently, Raleigh's City Council is reviewing a proposal to annex land for a 100,000-square-foot data center, with public opposition evident as 30 out of 32 speakers at a hearing are against it. The annexation would enable access to city water, but concerns about infrastructure and regulations persist. If approved, the data center could be valued at $180 million upon completion.
