The Rogersville Review

Rogersville passes ordinance tightly regulating data centers

A contentious issue involving regulation of datacenters in Rogersville was resolved at the Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting with no consensus, but also without further controversy. In October, the Rogersville Planning Commission and legal advisors drew up a draft ordinance that, while not outright banning what it described as “high-density data centers” within the town limits, places so many regulations and restrictions on them that it would be very difficult to locate one in the town. Mayor John Metz openly supported the ordinance, feeling that it would protect the town from any such establishments and their potential side effects, such as high use of town electric and water resources, and noise pollution. However, since it is not a blanket ban, it will be very difficult for a data center or crypto mining business, either of which would fall in the scope of the ordinance, from mounting a legal challenge. There are many more avenues to challenge a complete ban than tight regulation. Metz also stated last month that at under the existing zoning regulations, Rogersville had no way to keep these businesses out. The ordinance passed its first reading last month by a 4-2 vote. Alderman Todd Biggs still expressed concern

High Country Council of Governments presents awards at 51st annual banquet

BOONE — On Oct. 16, High Country Council of Governments held its annual awards ceremony at the Grandview Ballroom on Appalachian State University’s campus to recognize outstanding achievements and contributions by elected officials, local government employees, and advisory committee members. The High Country Council of Governments (HCCOG) is a regional organization dedicated to serving and supporting local governments in Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey counties. Award winners were nominated by elected and appointed officials from the seven-county region. Mayor of Jefferson Peter Eller was selected as the 2026 Outstanding Local Elected Official in the High Country region. This award honors outstanding service and leadership to the community. This award is voted on by managers, administrators, staff, and local elected officials in the region. Few people know the Town of Jefferson as well as Peter Eller, and few have given more of themselves to it. A lifelong Jefferson resident, his service to the town began before he was old enough to vote: his very first summer job, taken in high school just after he earned his driver's license, was working for the Town of Jefferson. Decades later, he returned to lead it. Mayor Eller spent 35 years with
