EZ Blockchain is a step closer to setting up operations near Hamlet. Ron Gifford with the Starke County Economic Development Foundation gave an update on the new data center to the Hamlet Town Council last week. “I think they’ve laid the cement,” he said. “I think they have the units. If they’re not there yet, they’re going to be.”
Now, he says EZ Blockchain is looking for some office space in the area. “They don’t need much in the way of square footage,” Gifford explained. “They only have like one person that would be occupying it, so they could share space or do anything else.”
Gifford also told the town council that the foundation is still working with a site selector to bring another potential industry to the Hamlet East Industrial Park, but the county faces some stiff competition.
