# Halifax County Commissioners Special Meeting - September 14, 2026 @ 5:30 PM

The Halifax County Commissioners held a special meeting on September 14, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve an amended and restated economic development agreement (EDA) with Quiet Data Centers and related entities. The meeting included detailed review of proposed contract changes addressing environmental assessments, water usage, noise studies, and compliance with local and federal regulations. Commissioners debated the adequacy of protections for the community, including concerns about public input, environmental impact, and utility ratepayer protections. Despite some opposition and calls for a public comment session, the board unanimously appointed a deputy clerk and ultimately approved the amended EDA. They also discussed the potential for a future community benefits agreement and a moratorium on data center projects, with plans for further public engagement and legislative hearings. The meeting concluded with scheduling of upcoming community meetings and reaffirmation of transparency and oversight commitments.
