Adelanto will hold a public hearing on August 19 to discuss amendments to its Municipal Code, allowing for energy and utility facilities, including data centers. The proposal does not authorize development or change construction standards.
Local residents express concerns about the water demands of data centers, which can use between 200,000 to 5 million gallons daily, impacting the already strained water resources in the area. Health issues related to contaminated water have been noted, raising questions about the town's capacity to support new industries without exacerbating existing challenges. The potential for job creation and investment is weighed against environmental impacts and resource management issues.
