As Oregon cities buck data centers, a committee is set to propose statewide regulations - Oregon Public Broadcasting
The Data Center Advisory Committee is scheduled to meet and begin drafting recommendations for statewide data center regulations in Oregon. This comes as various Oregon cities are pushing back against data center development. The proposed regulations aim to address the issues arising from this resistance.
The Data Center Advisory Committee is slated to convene on an upcoming Tuesday to initiate the process of developing statewide recommendations for data center regulations in Oregon. This move is a direct response to the growing trend of Oregon cities resisting further data center development. The committee's work is expected to establish a comprehensive framework for how data centers will be regulated across the state, potentially addressing concerns raised by local municipalities regarding their impact and development.
