Data center oversight under review in Sioux Falls

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) -Sioux Falls leaders are taking a closer look at how the city regulates data centers.

The Regulatory Oversight Committee met Monday to review existing rules and discuss concerns about water, electricity and noise.

The committee will meet again on Nov. 30.
