From the meeting
The September 18, 2026 draft required a pre-application conference and a detailed special exception permit (SEP) package before any data center application could be filed. The submission checklist called for utility correspondence, traffic impact analysis, noise and vibration studies, photometric plans, visual screening, stormwater design, water and wastewater capacity analysis, environmental assessment, air emissions assessment, decommissioning cost estimate, and a community impact statement. The County also said it may retain on-call third-party reviewers at the applicant's expense.
Decision state: proposed application requirements.

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.
