Data Centers: Getting MD & VA to Take Action
Data centers have affected local communities in both MD & VA alike. Join Nature Forward and Julie Bolthouse, Piedmont Environmental Council’s Director of Land Use, to learn what we can do at a state level to protect our local communities. You will learn about the results of a VA study conducted on data centers, the challenges of transmission lines cutting through communities in MD & VA, as well as how we can help push legislation in this upcoming state General Assembly. Join us in January and get ready to take action!
Registration fees, or donations for free Cafes, go to support our Nature Forward Conservation Program! If recorded, registrants will receive a link to the recording within a few days of the talk; it will later be made available to the public through the “Watch past Cafes” link on this page.
