Legal concerns as data center debate drags on
News Clip3:05KX News·Oliver County, ND·3/15/2026
The Oliver County Commission voted on a 180-day moratorium for data center construction in the county. Residents are increasingly frustrated with the debate, and there are concerns about potential lawsuits from landowners or companies if the moratorium is put in place long-term. A state's attorney warned the commission to consider the economic impact, interference with investment-backed expectations, and the character of the government action when implementing a moratorium.
