Kearney City Council approves data center project and new regulations for tech companies

The Kearney City Council recently voted to approve a data center project that is expected to consume over 350 megawatts of power by 2030. The decision was made during a Tuesday night meeting where the council addressed ongoing data center developments across the state.

In addition to greenlighting the project, the council also adopted new regulations for prospective tech companies. These rules will likely impact future data center developments and their operational requirements within the city of Kearney, Nebraska.
