# August 3, 2026 Granville County Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting

The Granville County Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting on August 3, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and decisions. The board conducted public hearings and approved the closeout of a $460,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) economic development grant for Nugget Comfort LLC, which resulted in the creation of 43 new jobs. They also held a public hearing and approved the sale of approximately 4.1 acres of land at Triangle North Granville to Durango Works LLC for $143,500 to support the construction of a commercial bakery facility, expected to create 18 jobs. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to a legislative hearing on a proposed text amendment to the county's land development ordinance concerning data centers. After extensive public comment expressing concerns about noise, water use, and environmental impacts, the board adopted the amendment with the removal of the word "currently" from the zoning eligibility clause, allowing data centers only on properties zoned I-2 with conditional zoning. The board emphasized the flexibility of the conditional zoning process to address site-specific concerns and retained discretion to approve or deny proposals. Additionally, the board approved the second reading of a solid waste convenience site management franchise ordinance granting exclusive operation rights to GFL Environmental from 2027 to 2031. Other agenda items included appointments to various boards and committees and a presentation on compliance reviews for property tax exemptions. The meeting reflected a focus on economic development, land use regulation, and solid waste management, with active public engagement on data center regulations.
