Cincinnati officials holding public meeting about data center zoning study
Cincinnati officials held a public meeting to gather input for an ongoing study of how data centers could be regulated through city zoning. Leaders are also examining potential effects on the power grid; the city previously enacted and later extended a moratorium on data center construction.
Cincinnati city leaders hosted a public meeting at Walnut Hills Public Library as part of an ongoing study of data center zoning. Residents and community members were invited to discuss how future facilities could affect the city, including potential impacts on the power grid.
No data center is currently under construction in Cincinnati, but officials are evaluating what future development could look like. The meeting follows Cincinnati City Council's decision in February to impose a legal pause on data center construction, which was later extended. The city was expected to provide an update on the zoning study and moratorium at the meeting.
