Menomonie considers new data center zoning restrictions, as $1.6B project remains paused

Menomonie, Wisconsin, is considering new zoning restrictions for data centers, including specific requirements for water, electricity, and noise pollution, while a $1.6 billion project by Balloonist LLC remains paused. A first draft of the proposal would require developers to pay for increased city water capacity if needed, have a water conservation plan, and monitor noise levels. The proposal is currently a draft and will be introduced to the planning commission in October.
