DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Jones County Planning and Zoning Board has recommended a text amendment to regulate data centers, featuring a 100-acre minimum lot size, 200-foot setbacks, height limits, and environmental studies. Residents have voiced concerns about the adequacy of protections and are advocating for a moratorium. The county commissioners are set to vote on the amendment, which would create a new M2 zoning district for data centers, on Friday.
