Belinda Joyner, our Northeastern organizer, with other community members at the April 1, 2026, commissioners meeting.
No data centers in Northampton County.
Residents of Northampton County want transparency and answers on whether or not a proposed data center would come to the county. On April 1st, Community members showed up to express concern, but the momentum must keep going! Now, residents are preparing for the next county commissioners meeting on May 4 at 6pm.
At this meeting, there is a strong chance of having a discussion on a potential data center moratorium. Northampton County, show up!
Why are Northampton County residents concerned?
- Northampton county already deals with other industrial pollution that affects our health and environment.
- Data centers often run on methane gas generators. Generators are loud and pollute the air.
- Data centers don’t employ many people long term and are one reason electric bills are rising 2x faster than inflation. Northampton County residents want economic growth and guide development to the right places.

What are local residents asking Northampton County Commissioners to do?
- To adopt a moratorium on data centers in Northampton County of at least 1 year, with a goal of a 32- month moratorium. This would give the county time to study their impacts and have strong public engagement on whether data centers are truly needed for Northampton County.
- This pause (moratorium) will help protect County residents while we plan for growth, understand costs to the County, and guide development to the right places.
- More transparency with Northampton residents on future proposed development projects.
