These are the decision makers on data centers in Warrick County
Warrick County officials are working to legislate data center development amidst local opposition, with the Area Plan Commission drafting a new ordinance. A 180-day moratorium on new data center projects is currently in place. The commission will discuss the ordinance at a public meeting on November 9th before it potentially moves to the Board of Commissioners for approval.
Warrick County, Indiana, is currently grappling with data center development as local officials, including the Warrick County Area Plan Commission and the Warrick County Board of Commissioners, work to legislate future projects. The effort comes amid strong opposition from residents and advocacy from economic development organizations.
The Warrick County Area Plan Commission, composed of elected and appointed members, is tasked with drafting a new ordinance for data center development. In July, the APC opted to table an initial draft to allow for further research. During this research period, a 180-day moratorium on all data center development has been enacted.
The APC is scheduled to discuss the proposed ordinance at a public meeting on November 9. Should the ordinance receive approval from the APC, it will then advance to the Warrick County Board of Commissioners for final approval or denial, with the possibility of further modifications. The article also provides contact information for members of both boards.
