The record, newest first

  1. CityView reported the site is outside city limits and under 4,000 feet from Eastover, and that the developer has proposed annexation; no annexation decision was reported. (CityView, Aug. 7, 2026)

  2. Eastover's town attorney wrote to the City of Fayetteville on behalf of the town council, objecting to satellite annexations for such projects. (Town of Eastover, July 15, 2026)

  3. CityView described the plans submitted to Fayetteville as 300 MW. (CityView, May 21, 2026)

  4. CityView reported the 180-acre plan by Terra Nexus Ventures near the PWC plant; the firm could not be reached. (CityView, Jan. 27, 2026)

  5. A preapplication for a large data center on Custer Road was filed with the City of Fayetteville, according to Eastover's town attorney. (Town of Eastover, July 15, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The letter says Custer Road and CityView says Custer Avenue; the letter places the land in unincorporated Cumberland County.
  • The land is outside Fayetteville's city limits and annexation has been proposed, so whether the county moratorium through Dec. 15, 2026 or a city rule would apply is not settled in the sources opened.
  • Coordinates are approximate, from Eastover.
