Augusta’s Planning and Development Department will host three public meetings in August and September to gather community feedback on a proposed Data Center Ordinance.
According to the city, the draft policy framework aims to support responsible growth while promoting the health, safety and welfare of Augusta residents. Officials say the meetings will allow residents, property owners, business owners and other stakeholders to learn about the proposal, ask questions and provide feedback before the ordinance is finalized.
Planning and Development Director Adleasia Cameron said the process reflects Augusta’s commitment to transparency, community engagement and responsible planning,
encouraging stakeholders to share their perspectives to help shape the final document.
