Macon will address cryptocurrency mining

In addition to separation, setbacks, noise, light and other safety requirements, the planning board has proposed adding a signage requirement for high-impact developments. This would require high-impact land use operations to clearly display a sign that states the name of the operator and a local phone number for the operator in case of emergency. The board has also proposed prohibiting use of cargo containers, railroad cars, semi-truck trailers and other similar storage containers for any component of the operation within a cryptocurrency mining facility.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
