Data Centers - Info Gathering Session & Discussion
Data centers can strain water resources and power demand, raise infrastructure and noise concerns, and pose potential environmental impacts, underscoring the need for transparency, local capacity building, and robust governance to mitigate negative ecological spillovers. Should the Town of Williston and its residents be preparing for this fast-moving infrastructure both here and nationwide? Are we already preparing?
Join the conversation with our expert panel:
- Rep. Laura Sibilia (Windham-2) - Lead sponsor of H.727, the Vermont Sustainable Data Centers Act, which was vetoed by Governor Scott this summer after being passed by the State House.
- Matt Boulanger - Planning Director and Zoning Administrator, Town of Williston
- Kevin Thorley - Member, Williston Energy Committee
