Edgerton, Kansas, sues citizens trying to put data center ban before voters

The City of Edgerton, Kansas, has filed a lawsuit against two citizens and a nonprofit who successfully organized a petition to ban data centers in the city, seeking a November vote on the issue. This legal action follows a proposal by Damac Digital to convert a warehouse into an $860 million data center, prompting environmental concerns from residents. The city claims the ban is illegal and that its development services director already determined data centers are consistent with existing industrial zoning.
