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. See the link below 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 Climate Coalition Montgomery County. More background can be found on SCA’s website.
