From the meeting
The Environmental Commission said it would recommend that the borough prohibit the siting of data centers until more information is available on environmental and community impacts. This is not a procurement, but it is a policy signal that could shape future land-use, utility, and infrastructure demand. The borough may move toward restrictions before any project proceeds.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
