🚨 Action needed: Let’s make some calls The Rowan County Commissioners will be meeting on Monday, April 6 and Monday, April 20. Our commissioners need to know how important this issue is to us – so let’s flood their phones and emails with messages. Below, we have suggested scripts to get you started. Feel free to rephrase these in your own words. Sample Script for Phone Calls: “Hi, my name is ___________, and I live in ___________. I’m calling today because I oppose the construction of a data center on Long Ferry Road. I’m concerned about (pick one or two: environmental impact, water usage, increased utility bills, lack of transparency around this project). I’m asking you to oppose the development of a data center on Long Ferry Road.” Sample Script for Emails: Hi [County Commissioner Name], My name is ______________, and I live in ______________. I’m writing today because I am opposed to the construction of a data center on Long Ferry Road. There is substantial research that shows the negative impacts of data centers on the environment due to high rates of water and electricity usage. In addition, data centers often lead to higher utility rates while offering no benefits for the surrounding community. Will you oppose the development of a data center on Long Ferry Road? Thank you for your consideration.
