Supervisor Posler introduced Resolution 205, authored by Chair Miles, to establish a county advisory committee on data centers tasked with impartial fact finding and recommendations on the economic, environmental and community implications of data center development in Dane County.
Posler said the committee would research and analyze impacts and invited colleagues to cosponsor the resolution. The board took no formal vote on Res. 205 at the meeting; the item was introduced for future consideration and sponsorship.
The resolution text, as announced, identifies the committee’s scope as economic, environmental and community impacts but did not specify membership, timeline, reporting requirements or budget for committee work during the announcement. Those details were not provided during the meeting and will need to be clarified if the resolution advances.
