From the meeting
At the September 3, 2026 meeting Chairman Edwards said the board is actively considering and developing its position on data centers, with a formal statement expected in the near future. No procurement was authorized, but the comment signals an open policy and infrastructure discussion that could affect power, broadband, and related technology needs. Sellers should watch for the county's formal position and any later implementation work.

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.
