How to Find a Local Data Center Hearing

Key takeaways

This page does not publish a national calendar of hearing dates, because those dates change and must come from the official agenda.
Start with your city or county planning website and the case number, parcel, or applicant name.
Planning commissions and elected boards usually publish agendas before they vote.
If a use is allowed by right, there may be no legislative hearing at all.
A longer list of questions to ask is on the questions to ask page.

Last reviewed: November 9, 2026. No hearing dates are listed here on purpose.

You find the next meeting by looking up the official agenda for the board that will hear the case, not by relying on a third-party calendar.

Open your city or county planning or community-development website.
Search by address, parcel number, applicant name, and the words used locally (data center, special exception, conditional use, site plan, planned development).
Write down the case number and which body will hear it.
Open that body’s agenda and packet, and note the comment deadline and any sign-up or time-limit rules.
If power lines, a special large-load tariff, generators, or water withdrawals are involved, also check the state utility commission or environmental agency docket.
