Shawano County to Hold Public Hearing on Proposed Data Center Moratorium
Shawano County, Wisconsin, is holding a public hearing on June 3rd to consider a proposed temporary moratorium on new data center development in unincorporated areas. The county's Planning, Development and Zoning Committee is reviewing the proposal to allow officials time to study and develop regulations for such facilities. Residents are invited to provide input on the potential pause in development.
The Shawano County Planning, Development and Zoning Committee in Wisconsin is set to hold a public hearing next month to discuss a proposed temporary moratorium on future data center development. The hearing, scheduled for June 3rd at 9 a.m. at the Shawano County Courthouse, will allow residents to provide in-person or written input on the matter.
County officials state that the proposed zoning change aims to temporarily halt new data center projects within unincorporated areas of the county. This pause would provide necessary time for officials to conduct a thorough review of the issue and establish appropriate regulations for data center facilities before any further development proceeds. Copies of the proposed zoning changes and moratorium language are available for public inspection through the Shawano County Planning and Development Office.
