Hubbard Township Trustees reject proposed data center regulations
Hubbard Township trustees rejected proposed data center zoning regulations after residents objected to losing the township's moratorium on data center development. The moratorium remains in place while the zoning commission revises and tightens the regulations.
Residents filled the Hubbard High School auditorium to comment on proposed zoning regulations for data centers in Hubbard Township. Some initially supported adopting the rules, but opposition grew after residents learned that approval would end the township's moratorium on data center development.
The Hubbard Township trustees voted to reject the proposed regulations, preserving the moratorium and directing the zoning commission to revise and strengthen the language. Trustee Jason Tedrow said officials wanted to produce a more thorough framework before approving it.
