Drox Group Rural Hall DC3

The Drox Group, a property developer based in Charlotte, North Carolina, has submitted plans to construct a significant data center campus on a 129-acre site in Rural Hall. The proposed development, located at 8084 Glade St, aims to rezone a parcel of land from residential to services to accommodate four two-story data center buildings. These structures are projected to offer a total of 1.3 million square feet of space. The proposal is undergoing review by the Planning Board of Forsyth County, with final approval resting with the Board of County Commissioners. The project has encountered local opposition citing concerns over noise and light pollution, loss of agricultural land, impact on property values, and potential utility cost increases. Rural Hall is situated northwest of Greensboro, a region where most North Carolina data centers are concentrated around Charlotte and Raleigh.
