From the meeting
At its September 8, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed a draft ordinance to regulate data centers in Isle of Wight County. Staff said it was developed from Energy Task Force recommendations and would classify data centers as an industrial use subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The commission asked for more research on classifications, setbacks, noise, water use, generators, battery storage, inspections, and financial assurance before a revised draft returns.
Sellers in site planning, consulting, engineering, power, and cooling can track the ordinance framework as it is still being shaped.
