Bristol VA considers special permitting for data center construction
The Bristol Virginia City Council is reviewing a proposed ordinance that would mandate a special use permit for all new data center construction within the city. Following a public hearing and first reading, a second reading is scheduled for September 8, potentially adding a new layer of review for future data center projects.
The Bristol Virginia City Council is currently deliberating a new ordinance that would impose a special use permit requirement on all future data center construction within city limits. The proposed regulation underwent its initial public hearing and first reading during a council meeting this week.
If the ordinance is ultimately approved following a scheduled second reading on September 8, it would introduce an additional review process for any data center proposals brought forward in Bristol, Virginia. This measure aims to establish stricter oversight on the development of data center facilities in the area.
