County announces Google data center open house for community Q&A
Summary
Botetourt County officials announced a Google Data Center open house at Lur Bonat High School where project staff will discuss technology, operations, infrastructure, water use, environmental and noise issues and take community questions.
The chair announced an open house hosted by Google project staff to discuss a proposed data-center campus. The event is scheduled for Wednesday evening from 5 to 7 p.m. at Lur Bonat High School, and county residents were invited to speak directly with subject-matter experts on technology and operations, power and infrastructure, county impacts, water usage, sustainability, environmental concerns and noise.
The announcement emphasized the event as an opportunity for direct community engagement with Google representatives and county staff. The chair asked the public to attend and noted this called meeting would not include citizen comment — public comment will be heard at the regular Board of Supervisors meeting on June 23.
Additional technical and environmental details were not discussed at length during this called meeting; the open house will be an opportunity for residents to ask questions and receive more information from company and county experts.
