Manitowoc County in Wisconsin is actively working on new regulations for data centers, despite an existing 18-month moratorium already in effect. Members of the Manitowoc County Board are drafting an ordinance that would impose further restrictions on data center development, specifically addressing future zoning and the approval processes for new construction projects.
