Requires data center developers to disclose certain information to public and elected officials before preliminary site plan consideration under MLUL.
This bill requires developers of artificial intelligence data centers in New Jersey to share specific details with local elected officials and the public at least 180 days before submitting a site plan for review. The disclosure must include the project's location, estimated public resource needs such as costs and tax incentives, and the environmental impact of the facility. Additionally, developers must maintain ongoing communication with local media and social media platforms serving the area. The legislation aims to increase transparency regarding the significant electricity, water, and land use demands associated with these large-scale developments.
