Data Center Regulations

[K Artell]

Hello

I believe Larimer County is in the process of developing data center regulations. 

I'm sure you have plenty of resources and internal expertise for developing regulations. I just wanted to share this Western Resource Advocates document, Data Center Impacts in the West:

Policy Solutions for Water and Energy Use

Thank you Karen,

I appreciate your engagement and advocacy. I had these already and it is good to know that you had flagged them as well. I am sure staff will look them over.

Happy Friday!

Yes, that is true, and thank you for sharing these materials.  I'll pass them along to our staff team in Community Development. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
