Explore the elimination of the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District

Overview

The County Executive was directed to work with staff to explore the elimination of the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District. The review should include economic impacts associated with supporting businesses, land use planning impacts, and fiscal impacts (budget and tax revenue). Additionally, it should review other comparable localities' land use regulations and policies regarding data centers. The County Attorney’s Office was directed to review the information and recommendations for any legal issues, including, but not limited to, potential proposals for Board consideration regarding grandfathering. The County Executive should report back to the Board with recommendations during a Board meeting or by memorandum, as they determine appropriate.
