Mount Airy sets Oct. 15 hearing on proposed data center ordinance

Mount Airy’s Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hold a public hearing Oct. 15 on a proposed ordinance addressing data centers in the city.

The city’s notice sets the hearing for 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15. It identifies the measure as proposed, not adopted, and directs residents to the city’s data-center materials and permitted-special-use table before the hearing.

The notice does not state a hearing room in its published text. Residents who need the meeting location or have specific questions are directed to contact Byron Brown at 336-786-3529.

That makes the hearing a timely opportunity for Mount Airy residents, property owners and businesses to review the city’s proposed framework and ask questions before the Board of Commissioners considers the ordinance. Readers should confirm the room and any updated participation instructions with the city before attending.
