Neighbors say they’ve hunted on the property for years, but signs from Earnhardt Properties tell people not to anymore. It’s about four miles southwest of downtown Mooresville along Patterson Farm Road, and there’s a big reason it’s being targeted for a data center: high-power transmission lines.

A giant data center proposed for Dale Earnhardt's family property has drawn fierce opposition from residents of Mooresville.

Not knowing who the final partner is, is not going to help us with purposeful growth,” Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney said.

Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney declined to permit Dale Earnhardt's widow, Teresa Earnhardt, to build a $30 billion data centre.

Mooresville Town Commissioners plan to deny a rezoning request for a $30 billion data center if it comes to a vote, the town mayor told the Charlotte Observer.
