From the meeting
At its October 21, 2026 meeting, the Water Resources Advisory Committee reviewed potential industrial ordinance updates. The draft ideas included allowing data centers by special use permit in industrial districts, requiring public water or closed-loop liquid cooling systems, and independent hydrogeologic assessments before any industrial well is approved. The committee moved to prepare a draft ordinance, so the policy is still being shaped before any formal vote.

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.
