From the meeting
At its September 16, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed developing a data center policy and reviewed two draft policies, one from the Colorado Municipal League (CML) and one from the City of Colorado Springs. The commission discussed adopting CML's tiered definitions for Enterprise, Co-location, Hyperscale, Edge/Micro, and Modular data centers. Members also discussed massive power and cooling demands, utility rate protection, and requiring developers to post bonds so abandoned facilities can be removed.
Town Administrator Hank Weber said he would compare CML language with county moratorium language and present refined definitions at the next meeting on October 21, 2026. The item was still open.

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 Town of South Fork issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of South Fork's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
