After a seven-and-a-half-hour public meeting on the future of data center development in Frederick County, Maryland, the planning commission could not come to a decision on a proposal to expand the development of data centers in the Adamstown area of the county.
Both opponents and supporters packed the Frederick County Planning Commission meeting.
Some came with signs saying, ‘preserve farmland’ and ‘do not expand data centers’ Some came with blown-up photos they say show runoff and other issues being created by current data center development.
“What do you need all these data centers for,” one opponent said. “Loudoun County is full of them. They’re just across the river.”
“Tech industries, really good jobs, high paying jobs,” one supporter said. “It would make us an attractive place to move to.”
