Data center development is accelerating. Keeping pace with shifting policy, market demands and infrastructure requirements is challenging. How can you get from the planning stage to a constructed, functioning data center?

Join Fox Rothschild energy attorneys and professionals from Geosyntec Consultants to walk through the full data center development life cycle and key environmental and regulatory hurdles that shape project timelines.

This webinar identifies issues that will help you chart a map of what to evaluate, when to evaluate it and how to stay ahead of the curve. You'll learn practical strategies to mitigate risk in early decisions and keep projects moving forward.

Topics include:

• Site Selection: real estate site control, grid capacity and proximity, reliable water supply, environmental and access constraints, and early-stage fatal-flaw screening.
• Zoning & Land Use: permissible uses, entitlement pathway, and local limits on sound, air, water, energy demand, building height and development timing.
• Environmental Permitting: required air, water, stormwater, wetlands and noise approvals, as well as the critical path sequencing that drives schedules.
• Emerging Rules: diesel generators, evolving noise and water standards, carbon reporting requirements and future grid and infrastructure constraints.
