&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Please join the Chamber&amp;#39;s Infrastructure and Land Use Committee for a special discussion featuring Kelly Schulz, Chief Executive Officer of the Maryland Tech Council. Kelly leads the Tech Council&amp;#39;s Data Center Alliance of Maryland, a coalition of business, community, and industry partners that advocates for the economic, fiscal, and technological benefits of data center growth across the state.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Data center development has emerged as one of the most significant land use and economic development issues facing Montgomery County and communities nationwide. As demand for digital infrastructure continues to expand, policymakers, businesses, and residents are grappling with important questions about how and where this growth should occur.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Topics of discussion will include:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The economic and fiscal impact of data center development&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Balancing growth with community interests and priorities&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Growing opposition to data center projects and the concerns driving it&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Legal and policy considerations surrounding data center development moratoria&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The current state of data center development at the local and state levels&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Montgomery County&amp;#39;s moratorium and regulatory efforts&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Emerging industry trends and what lies ahead for data center development&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Join Kelly and Chamber leadership for this timely conversation. Your participation will help inform the Chamber&amp;#39;s positions, advocacy efforts, and strategies related to data center development in Montgomery County.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;All MCCC members are invited to attend and participate. This meeting will be held in person at the Chamber&amp;#39;s office, with a virtual attendance option available for those unable to join us onsite.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Infrastructure and Land Use Development Committee meets regularly to provide Chamber members with opportunities to learn, discuss, and engage on land use, transportation, energy, and infrastructure issues impacting the region&amp;#39;s business community.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
