The Clayton County Planning and Zoning Commission held a public meeting on proposed Data Center Ordinance

The Clayton County Planning and Zoning Commission held a public meeting on a proposed data center ordinance. Several residents voiced concerns with the drafted ordinance and a number voiced opposition. A major concern involved the overall energy usage of data centers along with the lack of language to prevent added costs to individual utility rate payers. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to review and revise the draft. It will then be sent to the Clayton County Board of Supervisors where they will hold other public hearings over the ordinance.
