The Village of Nehawka, Nebraska, is evaluating significant zoning changes that would ban data centers within its municipal boundaries and in the adjacent areas. These deliberations come on the heels of the Cass County board's decision to pass a moratorium on data center development, which occurred just one day prior to Nehawka's current considerations.

The proposed zoning amendments aim to establish a definitive prohibition on data center facilities, reflecting a broader regional response to such developments. A public meeting is scheduled to address these potential changes, set for Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at the Nehawka community building, inviting community input on the matter.
