- **Event Name**: Data Center Teach-In and Town Hall
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Fayetteville Freedom For All (FFFA) is hosting a Data Center Community Teach-In &amp; Town Hall on March 21, 2026. The event is being held in response to Cumberland County’s upcoming data center public hearing and recent revelations that the City of Fayetteville’s Planning Commission, an unpaid volunteer board staffed by residents, has been secretly working on a data center ordinance since October 2025.

Where:   	Bordeaux Community Library – Activity Room
              	3711 Village Dr, Fayetteville, NC 28304

The community-led teach-in will cover the basics of what data centers are, their power and water usage, and their impact on utility bills, the environment, economics, and public health. Space will be made for residents to share their concerns and discuss steps the City and County could take to mitigate public health risks, noise, and environmental pollution; protect the Cape Fear River and the power grid; and address the concerns of residential areas that border industrially zoned property.

“After our organization attended the January 29 Data Center Information Session hosted by the City of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, and the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation (FCEDC), it was clear to us that many residents in attendance were understandably frustrated by the lack of communication from the City and County, and by the presentation itself, which was given by a former Duke Energy executive and data center consultant. Many people, including myself, did not feel the information was provided in a neutral way by a neutral party. So in response, over the past few weeks our FFFA members have been researching and putting together information to fill in the gaps that were left out — and to provide a space for residents to share their concerns.”
— Lisette Rodriguez, Founder, Fayetteville Freedom For All

PRESS CONFERENCE &amp; PUBLIC HEARING
Additionally, Fayetteville Freedom For All will host a press conference on Monday, March 23 at 5:45 PM at the Judge E. Maurice Braswell Cumberland County Courthouse, prior to the County’s public hearing at 6:30 PM. The organization is calling on the County and City to pass a one-year moratorium on data center proposals, allowing more time for elected officials to develop a deeper understanding of their impacts and to receive meaningful public input. The public is invited to show their support at the press conference.
