Wilmington Residents for Responsible Development (WRRD) announced plans to advocate for a moratorium on the proposed Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center project during a town hall meeting. Organizer Jessica Sharp intends to present this request at the Wilmington City Council meeting.
The council will hold first readings on the rezoning of four parcels near the proposed AWS site from rural residential to light industrial, which could facilitate expansion or similar facilities. WRRD is also considering a referendum on the Community Reinvestment Area agreement and has prepared petitions for the ballot.
