Salix City Leaders Draft Ordinance to Regulate Data Centers Amid Google Interest

Salix city leaders are discussing an ordinance to regulate data centers in the area. The discussion comes after Google expressed interest in building a data center in Salix, and local leaders want to ensure they have control over any future developments.

A data center ordinance would provide guidelines for companies looking to build or operate a data center within city limits. This could include requirements for energy consumption, water usage, and noise levels.

Google has not publicly confirmed plans to build a data center in Salix, but the company's interest in the area has sparked discussion about the potential benefits and drawbacks of hosting large-scale data centers.
