Webinar: AI Infrastructure and Data Center Development

AI Infrastructure and Data Center Development 

AI mega data centers are arriving with major economic promises and intense pressure to move quickly. Local governments are being asked to approve land use, rights-of-way, and utility-related permits that promise jobs and tax base, while residents raise concerns about energy and water demand, environmental impact, neighborhood compatibility, and long-term community cost. These data centers also demand unprecedented amounts of connectivity from a variety of telecommunications providers. 

This webinar looks at AI data center development from the perspective of the local decision-maker responsible for permitting and infrastructure coordination, where zoning, ROW access, utility capacity, and interdepartmental alignment are being tested by projects far larger and more complex than existing frameworks anticipated.
