SHOW UP FOR STRONG DATA CENTER REGULATION TUESDAY JUNE 17

 

SHOW UP FOR STRONG DATA CENTER REGULATION COUNTY COUNCIL TUES. JUNE 17 at 5:30 PM Winchester Hall Please attend, wear a white shirt, and bring others with you! Send comments to your elected officials. Email the Council members at: councilmembers@frederickcountymd.gov   4,400 Acres of Data Centers are Being Proposed The County Executive and County Council are considering legislation that would allow data centers to be built on up to 4,400 acres in the Adamstown area, including 75-foot high data centers within 200 feet of homes. Also remember that — as MPRP has shown — more data centers = more transmission lines and loss of private and preserved land through eminent domain. The map below displays what that could look like, as data centers take over Adamstown, Buckeystown, and sit right next to Carroll Manor Elementary School. Concerned residents should attend the first hearing on this overlay proposal on Tuesday, June 17, at 5:30 at Winchester Hall. Offer your opinion by speaking at the hearing. Write a letter to the County Council. Inform your neighbors. FIND MORE INFO & SHARE CLICK TO DOWNLOAD A SHARPER VERSION OF THE MAP.

See the CRG blog at: responsiblegrowthfrederick.com CRG is a grassroots coalition of Frederick residents who prioritize responsible growth, expanding infrastructure, and a functional natural environment. We advocate for development that accommodates projected population increases while fostering a strong and diverse community fabric and increasing economic opportunities. Our comprehensive approach emphasizes public safety, traffic mitigation, increasing school capacity, and housing for all members of our community. Many Frederick residents want to know — but cannot find — information about how to participate in discussions of important local issues. The City and County generally hold meetings from 3–10 p.m., making it impossible for most of us to attend meetings or weigh in on issues of interest. Our mission with this monthly newsletter is to highlight City and County activities so you can learn more and, with your limited time, weigh in on areas of growth and development, City and County policies, and other local activities. Occasionally, opinions or longer stories will be offered by knowledgeable experts/readers. We welcome suggestions for articles focused on specific topics. Contact Kevin Sellner (kgsellner@gmail.com), Marge Rosensweig (marjorierosensweig@gmail.com), or Steve Jakubczyk (jakubczyksteven@gmail.com) for consideration of your issue.
