Lowndes County to Consider Data Center Moratorium
The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners is set to consider a temporary moratorium on data center development in unincorporated areas of the county. This interim measure would allow the county time to develop a comprehensive ordinance for data centers. A public meeting is scheduled for August 25, 2026, to discuss the proposal.
The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on a proposed temporary moratorium on data center development in unincorporated Lowndes County during its Regular Session Meeting on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
If approved, the moratorium would provide an interim period during which the County would develop and consider a comprehensive ordinance specifically for data centers. This move indicates the Board's intent to carefully evaluate the potential impacts and considerations associated with data center development.
The meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Commission Chambers located at 327 North Ashley Street in Valdosta, Georgia.
