Public event data · Machine-readable scan status · Public-source review queue

What belongs here

Planning Commission and Board hearings with relevant agenda items; zoning and comprehensive-plan open houses; transmission and substation meetings; utility proceedings affecting large electricity users; air, generator, water and wetlands permit opportunities; related public pre-bid meetings and procurement deadlines; and policy or budget sessions with a documented data-center connection.

General county meetings without a confirmed relevant agenda, private sales events, invitation-only sessions and unrelated construction bids are not automatically promoted. Utility and regional-planning meetings are identified by organizer, not presented as county meetings. Public contracting notices may have bidder eligibility or registration requirements.

Dates and changes

Publication dates are never treated as meeting dates. An unknown cutoff time stays unknown; an all-day deadline reminder does not mean “open until midnight.” Missing notices are not assumed cancelled. Confirmed cancellations remain in the calendar, and changed or disappearing schedules are flagged for checking.

Older verification dates are flagged in your browser after 48 hours. The page retains the last published information when a source fails. A successful fetch means the source was reachable—not that every notice was parsed or reviewed.

Contact the project about a missing meeting or correction. Submit a link to the official notice; suggestions are not published automatically.
