Data Center Know How for Planners and Officials
Virtual
Data centers are large industrial land uses that present a complex mix of local impacts and potential community benefits. Planners play a critical role in evaluating these developments—balancing land use compatibility, infrastructure capacity, and long-term community goals. While data centers can drive significant investments in utilities and transportation systems, their scale and demands require proactive planning and policy coordination. This webinar equips planners with an understanding of data centers as a land use, practical strategies to help communities weigh data centers' pros and cons, prepare communities for potential development, and tools to assess how these projects may advance—or conflict with—local and regional planning goals.
