From the meeting

The council meeting took final action on Bill 63-26, which created a temporary moratorium on data center development actions and directed a workgroup to study regulation and report recommendations. The bill also changed zoning treatment for data storage centers and removed some parking requirements and allowable uses. This is a buying trigger for advisory, planning, and stakeholder-engagement work because the County is shaping the future rules before projects can move forward.

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.
