On February 17, the Columbiana City Council unanimously passed new zoning restrictions for data centers to exert greater control over future developments. The ordinance follows a town hall meeting hosted by Mayor Lisa Davis, addressing community concerns about a proposed DigiPowerX data center on Industrial Parkway. The new zoning code mandates that all data centers meet specific dimensional standards, landscape buffers, and power and water requirements, aiming to ensure that any future projects align with the city's goals for development.
