Athens Data Center Zoning Amendment

Sector: Government • Location: Athens, Alabama, United States

Source: Bama Politics

Project
Planned

The Athens City Council is considering an amendment to the city's zoning ordinance to add data centers as a conditional use in the M-2 heavy industrial district. This would allow data centers to be considered on a case-by-case basis through the city's conditional-use process rather than being automatically permitted.
