Ames City Council to discuss data center limitations at Tuesday meeting
The Ames City Council is set to discuss potential limitations on data centers at an upcoming meeting. This discussion follows a proposal from Light Edge, a Des Moines-based company, to build a new data center west of the Ames airport over the next decade. The council will consider whether to negotiate with Light Edge and if further regulations should apply to future data center projects in the community.
The Ames City Council is scheduled to address potential limitations on data center development during its upcoming meeting on Tuesday at 6:00 PM in the Ames City Council Chambers.
This consideration stems from a proposal by Des Moines-based company Light Edge, which seeks to construct a data center facility west of the Ames airport over a ten-year period. Last month, the council received input from Light Edge regarding their project and gathered feedback from the local community.
Moving forward, council members will need to determine whether to enter into negotiations with Light Edge for their proposed development. Additionally, they will decide if any broader actions should be taken to regulate future data center projects throughout the Ames community. A memo outlining these potential limitations will be presented at Tuesday's meeting.
