Clark County could consider moratorium on data center zoning
Clark County, Indiana is considering a one-year moratorium on data center zoning. This proposal comes after families in Charlestown, within Clark County, previously opposed a proposed data center. The county's planning and zoning board would review its unified development ordinance to potentially implement stricter regulations.
The Clark County Commissioner is considering asking the planning and zoning board to review its unified development ordinance, which could lead to stricter regulations on data centers in parts of Clark County, Indiana. The commissioner is seeking approval from other commissioners to recommend a one-year moratorium on data center zoning at an upcoming meeting, allowing additional time to review the existing ordinance.
This initiative follows local opposition earlier in June, when families in Charlestown, also within Clark County, expressed strong resistance to a proposed data center development in their area.
