The Atlanta City Council is considering a new task force to examine the impact of data centers in the city. Councilmember Kelsea Bond introduced a resolution to create a Data Center Task Force, which would focus on best practices for development, placement, and regulation of these centers. Atlanta already has some regulations in place, including a moratorium on data centers near the Atlanta Beltline.

Further details on the proposed task force are available from the council. The city's consideration of this task force comes as Georgia's data center market grows, with the state now home to roughly 75 data centers statewide.
