New Jersey A5224 requires data center developers to disclose specific information to the public and officials before submitting a preliminary site.

New Jersey A5224 mandates that developers of data centers disclose certain information to local elected officials and the public at least 180 days before submitting a preliminary site plan. This includes the data center's location, estimated costs, tax incentives, and environmental impact. The developer must also engage with local media, post physical signage, provide multilingual information materials, and send direct mail to nearby properties. The bill requires an environmental impact analysis conducted by an independent third party and funded by the developer.
