Washington County urged to enact data center regulations, moratorium$

A letter to the editor expresses concern that Washington County's recent actions, such as approving revenue bonds for grid upgrades and establishing a PACE district, are paving the way for data center development without adequate oversight. The author calls for the county to enact strong zoning and environmental regulations and impose a moratorium on large-scale data center projects. This is to prevent unbridled growth that consumes electricity and water without creating sustainable jobs.
