New regulations have been approved to govern the development and operation of data centers. The ordinance covers various aspects such as permitting, construction, and operation. It also includes provisions for decommissioning and public transparency.

The goal of these regulations is to protect infrastructure and taxpayers. A community development director stated that the regulations were necessary to have a mechanism in place before any project moves forward. There is reportedly already interest in bringing the data center industry to the area, although no specific company or site has been identified.

Further details about the ordinance are available, including specifics on the regulations and the development process.
