Moratorium or a different approach? Nearby counties vary on data centers

Several counties in south central Kansas are implementing or considering moratoriums and regulations on data center development, driven by concerns over water, energy use, groundwater contamination, and noise.

While some counties enact moratoriums to create regulations, others are exploring alternative approaches, and a statewide moratorium bill failed.
