Pottawatomie County says company is eyeing land for data center

Pottawatomie County, Kansas, is exploring potential zoning regulations for data centers in response to an Atlanta-based company, identified as "Beltline," expressing interest in constructing a data center in the area. Landowners have reportedly been approached by Beltline, and the company has also informed county commissioners of its development intentions. The Pottawatomie Planning Commission is actively developing these new zoning regulations, which will be subject to a public hearing following its May meeting. After the public hearing, the proposed regulations will be submitted to the Board of Commissioners for consideration. The Planning Commission is also holding a meeting soon to continue discussions, though this specific meeting is not open for public comment.
