Pickens County pumps brakes on data center development

Pickens County Council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed six-month moratorium on new data center development Nov. 2, giving county officials time to study how the rapidly growing industry could affect the county and what regulations may be needed before projects move forward. The ordinance, identified as No. 694, would temporarily pause data center development while county leaders evaluate zoning, infrastructure and land-use considerations related to the facilities. The proposal advanced by unanimous vote, with all council members present voting in favor of a first reading. The main topic of the first reading was the county council's desire to make Pickens County a safe area from the environmental risks posed by a data center. "I see it more as giving people peace of mind," Council Chair Alex Saitta said. "I don't support them, I'm not going to vote for one, and I wouldn't imagine the majority up here won't." The vote comes weeks after county officials publicly acknowledged that a real estate agent put in an inquiry to the county to gauge its interest in hosting a data center. During an Oct. 5 council meeting, County Administrator Ken Roper said a developer had inquired about Pickens County's "appetite

Baxter and Lowrance win Hendersonville City Council seats

HENDERSONVILLE – Gina Baxter and Melinda Lowrance look to have won their bid for reelection to Hendersonville City Council. With all precincts reporting, unofficial results from the North Carolina State Board of Elections show Baxter with 36%, Lowrance with 29%, Groh with 22% and Werner with 11% in the vote-for-two election. Results won't be official until after the canvassing period ends Nov. 13. “I’m deeply honored and excited to continue working for the residents of Hendersonville,” Baxter told the Times-News late on election night. “Our community deserves thoughtful leadership and I hope that I can live up to the charge of being elected to do that for them." Baxter has only been in office for half a term and that may have been to her benefit, she said. “I just campaigned a year and a half ago, so I think I probably had a bit of an advantage there in having my campaign network and framework in place,” she said. "I'm still a little numb, but I'm feeling good," Lowrance told the Times-News Nov. 4. She enjoyed the civil, respectful campaign. "No one got muddy, got dirty with it," she said. Still, she's glad it's over, she added with a

Burrows wins race after affordability divided NC House 119 candidates

ASHEVILLE - A newly appointed lawmaker's first election became a test of competing priorities for Western North Carolina's mountain communities. Republican Anna Ferguson and Democrat Mark Burrows competed for the North Carolina House District 119 seat, encompassing Jackson, Swain and Transylvania counties, in a contest shaped by affordability, property taxes, Tropical Storm Helene recovery and the death of a longtime legislator. Ferguson was appointed to the General Assembly in April following the March 18 death of Republican Rep. Mike Clampitt. Her appointment made her the first enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to serve in the legislature. She had finished second to Clampitt in the March Republican primary. Burrows, a Transylvania County resident with more than 30 years of experience in planning and economic development, previously challenged Clampitt unsuccessfully in 2024. With all precincts reporting, Burrows prevailed by a margin of 52.4% to 47.7%, per the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Results are unofficial until the state canvass on Friday, Nov. 13. Property taxes presented a major disagreement. Ferguson supported a proposed constitutional amendment strengthening the General Assembly's authority to limit local property tax rates. Burrows opposed the measure, arguing state tax reductions were already shifting
