From the meeting
At its July 22, 2026 meeting, the board adopted new zoning standards for data centers and heavy industry projects needing 100 megawatts or more of electric power. The changes require noise studies, utility letters with service timelines, and site assessments covering water, agriculture, parks, historic sites, and forestland. This is a policy shift that signals future land-use reviews and consultant work around utility capacity and site impacts.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Rockingham County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Rockingham County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
