Tigerton Approves One-Year Moratorium on Data Center Development
The Village of Tigerton, Wisconsin, has approved a one-year moratorium on data center development. This decision allows officials time to understand infrastructure needs, assess impacts on local resources, and establish specific zoning policies. The move comes after resident concerns about noise, water use, and wildlife were raised at a public hearing.
The Village of Tigerton, Wisconsin, enacted a one-year moratorium on data center development on September 15. The Village Board's decision provides officials with time to gather information and consider specific zoning regulations for future data center projects.
This pause is intended to allow the village to better understand infrastructure requirements, potential impacts on local resources, and other needs associated with data center development. The action follows a public hearing where over 70 residents attended and voiced concerns about issues such as noise, water usage, wildlife, and local control. The moratorium was initiated after the village received at least one inquiry from a developer interested in building a data center within its boundaries.
