The debate over data centers in Montgomery County is entering a critical period. If you want to be informed and/or weigh in on this issue, now’s the time to gear up. On Tuesday June 16, the County Council will hold a public hearing on two data center bills—one would impose a 6-month moratorium on data center approvals. The other would impose a 2-year moratorium. The hearing is being held as the Council continues to craft a zoning ordinance and companion legislation that would create rules and regulations around where data centers can be built and how they operate. That legislation is likely to be discussed on June 16 as well. See here for background and information on how to sign up to testify, write or call in. Courtesy of Montgomery Countryside Alliance (MCA), this web page also has links to a recording and slides from a May 22 webinar on data centers sponsored by the MoCo Climate Coalition. More background can be found at SCA’s website.
