Gov: Logan County, State's Attorney
Logan County's year-long moratorium on data center development, initially implemented to address concerns surrounding a proposed project by Hut 8, has been declared invalid by the state's attorney. The state's attorney concluded that the moratorium does not comply with established zoning regulations. This legal opinion suggests that the county's attempt to halt new data center projects lacks a sound legal basis under current local ordinances.
