Unincorporated Woodbury County approves 1 year moratorium on data centers

The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors has unanimously enacted a 12-month moratorium on the development of data centers within the unincorporated areas of the county. The decision, made on Tuesday, follows a period of community concern.

Residents of Salix, a community within Woodbury County, had previously gathered on Monday, June 15, to protest a proposed data center project in their area, indicating local opposition to such developments.
