As interest in data center development grows, communities may face questions about land use, infrastructure, utility demand and local decision-making. An Aug. 26 Community Matters Live webinar will examine how local officials, planners and community partners can assess proposed projects and identify issues to consider before development moves forward. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach’s Community and Economic Development unit will offer “Understanding the Development of Data Centers with the Penn State University Research and Extension Network for Data Centers“ from noon to 1 p.m. “Data centers can present both opportunities and complex questions for communities,” said Jen Hargrove, community development specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Wiseman also serves as co-director of the Penn State Center for Energy Law and Policy.
