A variety of topics related to data centers will be discussed, including:
• Water and electricity demand of large facilities

• The potential effects of noise, lighting and land use near homes and farms
• Newly enacted state legislation and options for the County
Among the presenters will be Dr. Ted Kury from the University of Florida Public Utility Research Center; Florida State University Director in Social and Sustainable Enterprises and Entrepreneur in Residence, Dr. Mark McNees; Brandon Stubbs from North Florida Professional Services and Attorney Ray Curtis of the Curtis Law Firm.
