Gov: Lincoln County Board of Commissioners
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners in Nebraska is actively assessing whether its current zoning regulations for data centers are sufficient. This review was prompted by a public appeal made on Monday for an 18-month moratorium or outright ban on new data center developments in the county's rural areas.
The issue was discussed during a pre-Fourth of July meeting, indicating that the question of data center development and its regulation remains a significant item on the commissioners' agenda.
