Augusta Commission to Discuss New Ordinance for Data Center Development

Augusta Commission to Discuss New Ordinance for Data Center Development

The Augusta Commission is preparing to discuss a draft ordinance aimed at regulating data center development within the city. This proposed ordinance seeks to establish clear standards for zoning, noise, environmental impact, and other factors related to data centers. The initiative comes in response to the approval of a 170-acre data center project on Gordon Highway by QTS Data Centers, which began without specific local regulations in place. The ordinance is designed to provide a transparent and consistent review process for developers, residents, and decision-makers. It includes guidelines on zoning districts, setbacks from residential areas, site design, noise and lighting mitigation, utility coordination, and environmental performance. The draft was developed through a planning process involving technical research and industry best practices.

Lockport City Council Overcomes Absenteeism to Approve Self-Storage Business Timeline Extension

Lockport City Council Overcomes Absenteeism to Approve Self-Storage Business Timeline Extension

The Lockport City Council faced an unusual challenge during a recent meeting when several members, including Mayor Steven Streit, were absent, leaving the council short of the necessary votes to approve an annexation agreement amendment for a self-storage facility. The meeting, held on July 15, required a two-thirds majority to pass the amendment, which would extend the construction timeline for the facility at Lockport Square. With only four members present initially, the council was unable to proceed until Alderman Joanne Bartelsen was contacted and rushed to the meeting to cast her vote. The amendment was eventually passed unanimously, allowing the construction on the 2.25-acre facility to continue without interruption, with an expected opening next spring.
