Harrington City Council denies data center ordinance

On Monday, August 17, the Harrington City Council voted unanimously to deny a proposed ordinance that would have allowed data centers to be built as a conditional use within the city's manufacturing zones. The decision came after nearly an hour of public testimony from residents expressing opposition to the measure.

The council's vote effectively maintains the current zoning regulations, preventing data centers from being developed under conditional use permits in these areas.
