What happened
The Irondale City Council is considering a new zoning ordinance for data centers, which was proposed by Councilman Aaron Sims. The ordinance defines hyperscale and other types of data centers and establishes conditions such as requiring closed-loop cooling systems and setting noise limits under 50 decibels during the daytime. The planning and zoning commission favorably recommended the ordinance to the City Council, which is expected to vote on it in December.
