Columbia County planning commission to hear proposed ordinance on potential data centers
Summary
A county staff member announced a public hearing Thursday at 6 p.m. before the Columbia County Planning Commission on a proposed ordinance that would govern potential future data centers. Residents were told to attend the meeting to have comments placed on the public record and directed to a county website link to read the proposed ordinance.
Columbia County will hold a public hearing Thursday at 6:00 p.m. during its Planning Commission meeting on a proposed ordinance related to potential future data centers, a county staff member said.
Hallie, a staff member who announced the hearing, urged residents to attend the meeting to "ask your questions, share your feedback, and have your voice heard on record." She said the hearing is the opportunity for comments that will be included in the public record and warned that "comments on social media do not count towards public record."
The announcement said a copy of the proposed ordinance is available on the county website via a link in the post caption. The county did not specify the ordinance's text, specific provisions, or the date the ordinance was drafted.
No formal vote or other action was recorded in the announcement; the Planning Commission hearing is the forum where public comment will be taken and where commissioners may consider the proposal further. Additional details such as the ordinance language, staff reports, or any supporting materials were not provided in the announcement and were described as available on the county website.
Residents seeking to comment at the hearing should consult Columbia County's Planning Commission agenda and meeting materials on the county website to confirm the meeting location, agenda item number, and any procedures for public comment.
