Provider notes
Community. The Sept. 9, 2026 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting drew a standing-room-only crowd. Opposition speakers, including a former mayor, argued the county's focus should be job retention and expanding existing businesses rather than attracting a data center.
What the source record says
Confirmed absence: no full legal operator name, project name, capacity, or investment figure was stated in the source found this run — MCNI is described only as 'a limited liability corporation.' This is a Planning & Zoning Commission-level denial recommendation, not yet a final county board action, and the company signaled an appeal to the county Board of Adjustment — status is kept 'proposed' rather than 'cancelled' pending that outcome, with the denial recorded in statusHistory and community instead. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Garner, the nearest named place in sourcing, not the parcel itself.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
