A thirteenth paper trail · Walnut Cove, North Carolina
The rezoning broke. The bill is still a question.
Project Delta puts a familiar promise under a brighter light: the developer says it will pay the energy upgrades and utility costs, while advertising more than $40 million in annual local tax revenue at full buildout. Those are commitments and projections from the developer, not receipts. The first rezoning was voided after notice-related litigation, and a new application was reported later.
What the paper trail shows
Engineered Land Solutions' project page says Project Delta would use the adjacent Belews Creek infrastructure and pay its energy upgrades and utility costs. The same public pitch advertises more than $40 million in projected annual local tax revenue at full buildout. That is a developer-stated plan and forecast, not verified public spending, collected revenue, or proof that the campus will be built.
Data Center Dynamics reported that Stokes County officials voided the initial rezoning after a legal challenge over notice. Clean Water for North Carolina's status trail describes the later application and the continuing land, water, and public-process fight. The reviewed record does not establish a utility approval, energized service, facility IT load, or a water or wastewater quantity.
