Plain City's leadership is preparing to host a public hearing to gather input on new proposed restrictions for data center developments. The regulations under consideration aim to mitigate potential impacts on residents and natural resources.
Key provisions of the proposed rules include a mandatory setback of at least 750 feet for data centers from residential properties. Additionally, new facilities would need to be located a minimum of 1,000 feet away from Big Darby Creek, a significant local waterway. The regulations also stipulate that data center developers would be required to perform comprehensive noise and vibration studies as part of their development process.
The public meeting for these proposed data center restrictions is scheduled for Monday night at 6:30, providing an opportunity for community members to voice their opinions and concerns.
