A small town in Alabama is considering restrictions for future data centers within its city limits, amid local outcry and questions surrounding a non-disclosure agreement signed between a former mayor and an expanding data center company.
The ordinance also lists documentation that would be required for a data center company to verify how much water and power it will need.
The data center company owns several parcels of land on Industrial Parkway in Columbiana.
Hannah Denham / AL.comDuring last week’s city council meeting, Mayor Lisa Davis said it’s been “all things data center” locally.
“I’ve only been here three months,” Davis said during the council meeting on Jan. 20.
