The DeKalb County Commission is set to revisit proposed regulations for future data centers, following a committee vote to present a revised resolution that includes a 5,000-foot restriction from residential and agricultural areas. This initiative, spurred by plans for a nuclear-powered data center, addresses concerns over noise pollution and high electricity demands, which can exceed the needs of 10,000 homes. However, some officials argue the restrictions may be too stringent and could effectively ban data centers in the county.
