MATTHEWS, N.C. — An entity affiliated with Crosland Southeast is leading a rezoning push for a new data center development in Matthews.

The Matthews Board of Commissioners this week initiated the rezoning process for a 123-acre site at 1603 E. John St., which is being targeted for data center uses. The exact scope of the proposed project is unclear. It is also unclear if a user is lined up for the data center.
