Board discusses Lisonbee contract assignment, notices and a Georgia Tech zoning study for data-center ordinances

Aug 10, 2026

Board members discussed an ongoing customer contract tied to a zoning hearing (the 'Lisonbee' matter), assignment and letter-of-credit protections, and a proposed Georgia Tech study (quoted at $40–50K, possibly reduced) to inform ordinance changes related to data centers amid a moratorium on some zoning actions.

The full story

Board staff provided an informational update on a customer contract described as part of a pending zoning hearing, noting that the contract could be modified and that the BLW would not be a political decision-maker on zoning. The board discussed assignment provisions in the contract, whether a successor could assume credit qualifications, and the continued requirement for a letter of credit or other security instrument in the event of assignment.
