Calhoun residents will have two opportunities later this month and in December to learn more about data centers and the potential effects of future digital infrastructure development.

Two public information sessions have been scheduled, with discussions expected to cover topics ranging from economic development to environmental considerations and community protections.

The first meeting is scheduled for November 17 at 7 p.m. A panel of subject-matter experts will be available to answer questions about the data center industry, including water consumption, noise concerns, employment opportunities and the economic impact of these facilities.

A second session will take place December 9 at 7 p.m.

That meeting will move beyond general information and focus on potential development concepts, including site visioning and good neighbor agreements for future projects.

The sessions are intended to give residents an opportunity to become more familiar with the industry, hear from knowledgeable participants and raise questions about issues that could affect the surrounding community.

Additional details about the meeting locations were not included in the announcement.
