Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission votes on data centers

The Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission made split decisions on two proposed data center rezoning requests. The commission voted to recommend a rezoning request to facilitate a data center project near Villa Ridge and Diamond Farms. However, for a separate data center project near Pacific and Crooked Creek, the commission voted against recommending the rezoning request. Despite this, the ultimate decision regarding the rezoning for the Crooked Creek project, as well as whether to accept the recommendation for Diamond Farms, rests with the Franklin County Commission. It remains unclear if either of these matters will be on the county commission's upcoming agenda, which typically meets on Tuesdays.
