Clinton Considers Zoning Rules for Potential QTS Data Center Campus
Clinton is developing zoning rules for a potential QTS data center campus on the city's west side. An opposition group seeking a development moratorium was unsuccessful and is now pushing for stricter zoning regulations.
The city of Clinton, Iowa, is working on rules governing potential data center development within city limits after QTS expressed interest in developing a campus on the west side of the city. QTS released an artist rendering in May while providing information about the project's early planning stages.
Opponents organized around the proposal and called for a moratorium on data center development, but the moratorium request was rejected. The group is now advocating for strict data center regulations in the city's zoning code as officials consider how to govern potential development.
