# 6.24.26 Commissioners' Meeting

The Nash County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on June 24, 2026, focused primarily on the proposed updates to the county's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), which has not been comprehensively revised since 1998. The meeting included detailed presentations by planning staff and consultants from Withers Ravenel, outlining key changes such as increased subdivision roadway widths, updated landscaping and buffering requirements, inclusion of data centers as a land use with specific development standards, and provisions for accessory dwelling units and multi-family housing. Public comments were extensive, addressing concerns about infrastructure adequacy, particularly water supply and fire safety, the pace of development, preservation of rural character and farmland, affordable housing, and the potential impacts of data centers. Several speakers advocated for a moratorium on new major subdivisions until further assessments on public safety, infrastructure capacity, and environmental impacts could be completed. The board acknowledged these concerns and emphasized the ongoing nature of the UDO revision process, with opportunities for continued public input before final adoption. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, with no immediate votes on the ordinance changes themselves.
