Yadkin County, NC

WhiteFiber. Filed. 60 MW.

WhiteFiber agreed to buy two industrial properties in Yadkin County for 60 million dollars to convert into data centers targeting summer 2027, with potential growth to about 200 MW. County commissioners recently approved a two year moratorium on new data center development and it is unclear how that affects the project.
