Commission discusses whether Tamworth's groundwater ordinance addresses data centers
Summary
Commissioners discussed concerns that the Town's Groundwater Ordinance does not address data centers; Kelly Goodson asked the Planning Board be asked to research possible ordinance revisions after state legislation limiting municipal authority failed to pass.
Kelly Goodson raised concerns that the Town's current Groundwater Ordinance does not address data centers. Commissioners discussed amending the ordinance or creating a standalone ordinance to clarify local authority, noting proposed state legislation that would have limited municipal authority over data centers had not passed. Larry Nickerson agreed to raise the topic with the Planning Board to begin researching potential ordinance revisions and to gather examples from other jurisdictions.
The discussion did not result in a formal motion or ordinance change at the July 13 meeting; Commissioners asked staff and Planning Board representatives to research options and report back.
