Held Atlanta plan calls for 10 public meetings on data-center regulation

A held Atlanta resolution proposes a task force to study national and global practices for regulating data centers and related facilities, then make written recommendations to the mayor and City Council. The proposal calls for at least 10 public meetings and two public hearings.

Resolution 26-R-3853 would require an initial report within 150 days and a final report within 180 days of the task force's first meeting. The Sept. 29 City Utilities Committee agenda lists the proposal among held papers and records an Aug. 25 hold at the sponsor's request. This is a proposed study and public process, not an enacted set of data-center operating rules.
