Glass Proposes Bill 4-26 for Data Center Oversight
GlassJan 16, 2026
Councilmember Evan Glass announced Bill 4-26 on January 16, 2026, which would establish a temporary task force to review data center siting, environmental impacts, and emergency-response considerations in Montgomery County. The task force would also refine the definition of data centers and recommend regulatory or zoning changes, with recommendations due within one year. The proposal follows the provisional approval of the Terra Energy project at the former Dickerson Power Plant site and mirrors similar task forces formed in neighboring Prince George's County.
