Pulaski County Targets Data Centers | Little Rock News

Pulaski County is gearing up to regulate massive new data centers with strict new rules—calling them “High-Intensity Digital Infrastructure Uses”—to protect power, water, roads, and quiet neighborhoods. The ordinance demands special permits, environmental reviews, minimum 500-foot setbacks from homes, application fees, and shutdown plans with financial guarantees. Fueled by community concerns over unpreparedness for the tech boom, supporters are urging county officials to pass this measure before the AVAIO data center in Wrightsville and other pending projects face new hurdles. The Quorum Court votes Tuesday—balancing growth with community well-being. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
