The Issue

Why This Matters

Orange County has spent decades protecting our rural character and natural resources. Data centers threaten that legacy.

These massive facilities demand enormous water resources, generate significant truck traffic, require extensive power infrastructure, and fundamentally transform the character of our rural communities.

The County Recently Approved Data Center Zoning
On December 16, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved a new Technology (T) District zoning that allows data centers in our county. This happened while many residents were unaware of the implications.

Now is the time to organize and prepare for developer proposals. We need to show our elected officials that Orange County residents value rural preservation over industrial development.
