The Walker County data center study group convened for its third session, focusing on the county's current zoning framework and future data center development. The group discussed the county's ten existing zoning districts and explored how to classify heavy industrial zoning to better regulate where data centers can be located.
Key discussions also centered on the potential creation of an industrial park specifically for data center development. This initiative aims to provide a designated area for such facilities, addressing concerns about their size and impact within the county.
