Supervisors balk at data center moratorium, plan public meeting

Instead, the board asked Kossuth Area Economic Development Executive Director Tod Faris to organize a public meeting with utilities and other experts.
The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors is considering whether the county should pause data center development, but it stopped short of directing the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend a moratorium.
The board instead asked Tod Faris, executive director of Kossuth Area Economic Development, to help arrange a public meeting. Local utility representatives and other subject-matter experts are expected to participate in the discussion.
