Supervisors seek data center information
Kossuth County supervisors are seeking information from the county's planning and zoning administrator to consider a potential moratorium on data center construction. The county currently lacks a specific data center ordinance, unlike its regulations for solar and wind projects.
Kossuth County supervisors have directed the county's planning and zoning administrator to compile information regarding a potential moratorium on data center development. This action comes as data center construction has become a significant topic nationwide and in neighboring Hancock County. Currently, Kossuth County possesses ordinances governing the construction of solar and wind projects but lacks a specific regulatory framework or ordinance for data centers. The supervisors' request for information is a preliminary step towards potentially establishing new regulations or a temporary halt on such projects.
