Wrightstown, Wisconsin village leaders are set to review a proposed ordinance on Tuesday that would place a temporary halt on new data center proposals. The proposed ordinance would impose a moratorium on considering any data center plans until after an advisory referendum, scheduled for August.

While no formal data center plans have been submitted to the village, residents have voiced concerns regarding the potential environmental impact if a data center were to be built in the area. The measure aims to prevent such proposals from being rushed through the approval process before the community has a chance to weigh in through the referendum.
