Three towns in northeast Wisconsin (Two Creeks, Two Rivers, and Mishicot) have passed resolutions calling for a 1-year moratorium on new data center projects in their communities. This comes as Texas-based Cloverleaf Infrastructure has approached property owners in the towns with offers to purchase land for potential data center development. The towns are seeking a moratorium to prevent these types of projects from coming to their communities in the next year.

Three northeast Wisconsin towns - Two Creeks, Two Rivers, and Mishicot - have passed resolutions calling for a one-year moratorium on new data center projects in their communities. This comes as Texas-based Cloverleaf Infrastructure has approached property owners with offers to purchase land for potential data center developments. The towns are concerned about the impact on the rural character and loss of farmland, and want time to establish proper zoning and regulatory standards for data centers. The Manitowoc County Board is expected to consider the moratorium request at a future meeting.
