Sedgwick Co. commissioners extend moratorium on data centers
Sedgwick County commissioners have extended the moratorium on large data center applications for the third time, pushing it through December 24th. The county is also actively working on new zoning regulations for data centers, which are expected to be released this month.
Sedgwick County commissioners have voted to extend the moratorium on large data center applications through December 24th. This marks the third time the moratorium has been extended since its initial implementation in January.
The county is currently in the process of developing specific zoning regulations for data centers. These proposed regulations are anticipated to be released later this month. One commissioner expressed the importance of gathering comprehensive information to understand the true impact and potential threats of data centers, emphasizing a decision-making process based on facts rather than fear.
Following the release of the proposed regulations, the county plans to solicit feedback from the community. A commission meeting scheduled for December second will address the ongoing progress and determine the next steps regarding data center development within Sedgwick County.
