Possible second data center
A resident alleged that people on the county-funded Economic Development Corporation board are tied to AI/data center projects like Moonstone and Alina, and urged the court to look into it.
Wilson County EDC contract and transparency
The court approved $50,000 more for the young Economic Development Corporation plus a contract with 'subject to appropriation' protection. Commissioners warned the county won't fund it forever — the EDC is expected to grow private memberships and become self-sustaining.
