Harford County officials prepare for June 9 vote on data-center zoning
Summary
County and state representatives told the Joppa/Edgewood CAB that officials are preparing for an upcoming vote on a data-center zoning bill (scheduled for June 9) and that some council members are pursuing restrictions and state-level coordination.
Local and state officials updated the Joppa/Edgewood Community Advisory Board on June 1 about pending efforts to address data centers.
Donald Watson, representing Delegate Lauren Arikan, said the delegate's office is reviewing data-center issues. Council President Cynthia Lince and Council member Nolanda Robert reported hearings on bond bills and ongoing conversations about data centers. Robert said council members had signed on to measures intended to restrict data centers. Alison Imhoff said a zoning bill affecting data centers is scheduled for a vote on June 9 and that strategy is shifting toward state-level engagement.
Officials did not provide the bill text at the meeting. The board received notice only that the zoning vote is planned and that county leaders are coordinating with state representatives. No formal vote took place at the CAB meeting; members were urged to follow council notices and the next steps at the county level.
