LaGrange punts on data center restrictions, deciding to handle them on a case-by-case basis via special-use permit$

The LaGrange City Council has voted to drop proposed blanket restrictions on data centers, instead requiring special-use permits for all projects in industrial zones. This new ordinance means future data centers will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis through public hearings to address community concerns regarding water, power, and other impacts. The decision passed with a 3-2 vote, aiming for greater oversight and public input.
