Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Holly Springs public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Potential 2027 or 2028 transportation bond referendum
Residents named traffic their top concern, and the town faces roughly $1 billion in identified transportation needs. A bond vote in 2027 would provide about $56 million of capacity; waiting until 2028 could yield $67–87 million. Most council members leaned toward 2028, with small projects possibly cash-funded early through a reimbursement resolution.
Data center regulations study
State law keeps Holly Springs from banning data centers outright, so the town is studying where they should be allowed and what extra rules on noise, buffers, and building design should apply. A community feedback portal is launching so residents can weigh in before the committee makes its recommendation to Council.
Data center moratorium and faster development reviews
The Town Manager explained the 12-month data center moratorium: the Town can't legally ban data centers, but it can regulate their character, quality, and location. A feedback portal is live on the town website.
