The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to consider a resolution on Nov. 10 that would require an independent, third-party health and environmental study of data centers before the county’s existing data center moratorium can be lifted, according to the published agenda.
The resolution, listed for all Commission Districts, calls for a review of data centers and their possible impact on DeKalb County, with the Board of Commissioners required to review the study’s findings before any lifting of the moratorium, according to the agenda posted on the county’s Legistar system.
The matter affects residents across the county because it directly governs whether and when new data center development could proceed once the current moratorium ends, according to the agenda item.
