Pittsfield Township wants to hear from residents about proposed data center regulations
Pittsfield Township is soliciting community feedback on a proposed ordinance for data centers and other high-resource facilities. This follows the extension of a data center moratorium approved last November. The ordinance aims to protect public health, safety, and infrastructure.
Pittsfield Township in Michigan is actively engaging its community regarding a proposed ordinance that will regulate data centers and other high-resource demand facilities. Township officials, including Township Supervisor Trish Reilly, are working with consultants to develop a comprehensive regulatory framework.
This initiative comes after the Pittsfield Township Trustees initially approved a data center moratorium last November, which was subsequently extended this month. The proposed ordinance is designed to safeguard public health, safety, and local infrastructure, according to Supervisor Reilly. The draft ordinance and a related survey are accessible on the Township’s official webpage, with Reilly emphasizing the need for thorough vetting due to ongoing controversies surrounding data center developments.
