Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners is considering a temporary moratorium on data centers. This proposed ordinance would pause the issuing of building permits and development orders, as well as property rezoning, specifically for data center projects. The moratorium is planned to last for a period not exceeding 12 months. This review stage means that while no immediate construction work is planned, the county is exploring future land use regulations that could impact development. If approved, this could lead to future needs for site preparation, construction, and related services once the moratorium is lifted or modified. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review process. Understanding the potential future regulations can help businesses prepare for opportunities that may arise after the moratorium period.
