News coverage partner KCRG reports over 200 people packed the Grand River Center last night to give feedback during roundtable discussions on potential data center developments in Dubuque.
The City of Dubuque hosted the public input session to guide the creation of a future data center ordinance. City officials stressed no formal site plans, annexation petitions, or development agreements have been submitted.
City leaders are taking an anticipatory approach to establish local regulations before any company would submit an official proposal. If you missed last night’s meeting, another one will be held at the Grand River Center this Monday evening at 6.
Recent interest from developers has brought data center regulations to the forefront in eastern Iowa. A Florida-based real estate firm previously inquired about connecting a potential site near the Dubuque Regional Airport to city water and sewer systems.
