Resident urges board to revisit data-center proposals and requests hearing on PACE discharge into bay

Board of County Commissioners · June 11, 2026

Summary

A resident raised concerns about potential data centers and a PACE package plant that the commenter said would discharge into the bay without PFAS removal, asking the board to ensure public notice and hold a hearing on the matter.

During public comment, resident Sherry Chapman (speaker 7) urged the board to revisit proposed 'flock cameras' and data-center projects and said there should be no contracts or agreements before citizens can weigh in. She also raised an environmental concern about a PACE package plant that, she said, "does not remove PFAS" and urged commissioners to prepare for a Department of Environmental Protection hearing so the community can respond.

Chapman said she received a DEP notice and asked the board to be familiar with the issue before the public hearing so citizens could make an informed turnout. No staff presentation or reply from the permitting agency was recorded in the meeting; the board did not set a hearing date during the session.
