(WJBF) —</strong> Augusta-Richmond County held its second public meeting Monday night on a proposed ordinance that would set new rules for future data center development.</p><p>At the beginning of the meeting, attendees received information outlining the different types of data centers, proposed setback requirements and where certain facilities could be located.</p><p>One of the biggest parts of the draft ordinance focuses on how close data centers could be to surrounding properties. The current proposal calls for a 500-foot buffer next to residential, agricultural and environmentally sensitive areas. It also includes smaller setback requirements near commercial and light industrial zoning districts.</p><p>The meeting brought out both supporters of data center development and people with concerns about how the facilities could affect the community.</p><p>Karen Gordon, who works in agriculture, said she believes data centers and the technology they support could be useful for younger generations entering the industry.</p><p>“We use data.

However, the flip side of that is that folks in agriculture are getting older. We want younger people to participate, to be in the industry and utilize those tools,” Gordon said.</p><p>Others came to the meeting with concerns about water usage and whether data center development could eventually affect utility bills.</p><p>“Usage of water... is it gonna contaminate the water, and are they gonna cause the utility bills to go up?” Richmond County resident Richard E.
