IV. Conclusion

This agenda item discusses the significant economic impact of the U.S. data center industry. It highlights national data from 2023 and 2024, showing growth in jobs, labor income, GDP, and government revenue. The report indicates that for every direct job in the data center sector, about 4.5 additional jobs are supported elsewhere in the economy. This item is currently under review as a descriptive analysis of industry economic contributions. While no specific project is detailed, the growth described suggests potential future development in areas with existing data center facilities or supporting supply chains. Businesses involved in construction, technology infrastructure, and related services could see future opportunities as this sector expands. Early engagement with planning bodies and industry stakeholders may provide insight into emerging needs.

IV. Land Development Regulations - Section 16.2 Review

This item concerns a proposed rezoning of land to a CHI zoning district, which would implement a Highway Interchange future land use designation. The change aims to extend an existing development pattern and would replace potential residential use with nonresidential intensity. Any future site plan will need to meet county standards for access, buffering, lighting, drainage, stormwater management, parking, landscaping, floodplain management, and wetland protection. This rezoning request is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Board of Adjustments. If approved, this project could involve site clearing and grading, underground utility and stormwater management systems, paving, and construction of commercial buildings. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the review process, before final site plans, bids, and permits are established.
