Greenville approves moratorium on data center projects [AUDIO]
The Greenville Village Board has approved a one-year moratorium on data center construction projects. This pause will allow village staff to research and draft regulations for data centers, aligning with practices in other municipalities. Residents have expressed opposition, but officials note that a complete ban is not being considered.
The Greenville Village Board in Wisconsin has enacted a one-year moratorium on new data center construction projects. The decision, reported by WHBY, aims to provide village staff with time to conduct further research into data center operations and to develop comprehensive regulations that are consistent with those in other municipalities.
Village Trustee Dean Culbertson stated that data centers could not operate properly under current conditions if built immediately. While some Greenville residents have voiced opposition to data center developments, Village Administrator Travis Parish clarified that a complete ban on such facilities is not being considered by the board. As of now, the Village of Greenville has not received any formal proposals for data center projects.
