• Jefferson County Commission and city representatives work together on suggested guardrails for data centers (journal-news.net) — Bolivar leaders joined officials from nearby Jefferson County towns this week to draft recommended "guardrails" for any future high-impact data centers, aiming to protect water, air quality, and neighborhoods. They're responding to a state law limiting local control, and will now refine a shared proposal on setbacks, lighting, and safety standards to send to Charleston for consideration.
