About NDCRH

No Data Center Rural Hall is a resident-led group formed during the fight against Project Iron Spur, the proposed hyperscale data center that would have been built across from Rural Hall Town Hall.

On July 30, 2026, Forsyth County commissioners denied that rezoning.

We are nonpartisan, resident-led, and focused on protecting Rural Hall and Forsyth County.
