County work group recommends creating floating zone for data centers

A Frederick County work group’s final report to the County Council recommends changes to the current ordinance on data centers — including the creation of a floating zone — and establishing an upper limit on data center development. The work group, created in June by Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater, issued its final report on Friday with recommendations and considerations for regulating the data center industry, often referred to as critical digital infrastructure, or CDI.
