Taylor County Commission holding data center workshop before making call on moratorium
The Taylor County Commission held a workshop to discuss data centers and their potential impacts before deciding on a moratorium. Concerned community members have voiced opposition to data centers in the county. Commissioners sought to gather more research and hear from the public.
The Taylor County Commission held a data center workshop at the Taylor County Courthouse following concerns raised by community members at a previous meeting. The workshop, intended to educate commissioners and the public on the potential impacts of data centers, was standing room only, with people being turned away due to capacity.
Commissioners indicated they wanted more research and public input before making a decision on whether to implement a moratorium or ban on data center development. While no action was taken at the workshop, residents expressed their desire for the county commissioners to oppose data centers, and hope to hear where the commissioners stand on the issue.
