Commissioners - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

Jackson County Commissioners are considering a proposed ordinance that would place a one-year moratorium on large-scale data centers and large load customer facilities. This ordinance is currently under review. The proposed rules include exceptions for ordinary repairs, certain interior alterations, emergency work, and projects with existing final approvals. County staff will review and propose changes to the comprehensive plan and land development code to address impacts from these types of facilities. This review will cover siting, design, compatibility, infrastructure, environmental, water, emergency services, and public facilities. Local businesses involved in construction, engineering, and legal services may find opportunities as the county develops new regulations and potentially reviews specific development proposals. Engaging with county staff early could provide insight into future requirements and potential projects.
