Vanderburgh County seeks public input on data center development Nov. 10
Residents have an opportunity to share their input about data centers with the county’s Data Research Committee, on Nov. 10 at Ivy Tech.
Vanderburgh County residents can share concerns about potential data center development during a public comment forum from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Ivy Tech Community College, 3501 N. First Ave., Evansville.
The county’s Data Center Research Committee will host the forum in the Ivy Tech Auditorium. Attendees should use Entrance C on the north side of the building and proceed to the auditorium.
According to the Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners, the committee is gathering input about residents’ concerns and potential community impacts to inform its research and recommendations on data center development.
The committee serves in an advisory role and has no authority to decide whether development proposals move forward. In its Oct. 28 announcement, the county said the committee was not aware of any active data center proposals in Vanderburgh County.
Residents who want to speak should indicate their intent upon arrival and prepare comments lasting two minutes. Residents are also asked to submit written comments to DCResearch@vanderburghgov.org, whether or not they speak at the forum.
The meeting will be recorded for those unable to attend.
For more information, contact the commissioners’ office at 812-435-5241.
