Lancaster County considers two data center task forces
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners is discussing the creation of two task forces to address data center development. These task forces aim to establish guidelines for data center locations and develop a comprehensive plan by year-end. Key stakeholders like LES and Nebraska Public Power will be involved.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners is actively discussing the formation of two distinct task forces to manage data center development within the county. According to Commissioner Bill, the county is open to data centers but emphasizes the importance of locating them at the "right place and the right time," necessitating a thorough process.
The proposed task forces are expected to include a diverse group of stakeholders, such as representatives from LES, Nebraska Public Power, and the Chamber of Commerce. This collaborative approach aims to develop a comprehensive plan by the end of the year. Further discussions on data centers are scheduled to take place in two weeks, as the Commissioners work towards defining future guidelines.
