Cobb County data center moratorium extended six months
Cobb County Commissioners have voted to extend the current moratorium on new data centers for an additional six months. The decision, made at a recent county board meeting, will keep the ban in place for 180 days. Commissioners indicated the moratorium could be lifted sooner if new zoning rules for data centers are established before the extended timeline.
Cobb County Commissioners have extended the current moratorium on new data centers by an additional 180 days, ensuring no new data centers will be approved for at least another six months. The decision was made during a county board of commissioners meeting on Tuesday evening.
The commissioners noted that the moratorium, initially put in place to allow for the development of comprehensive zoning regulations, could be lifted earlier than the 180-day extension if new zoning rules surrounding data centers are finalized and adopted before the extended period concludes.
