Logan County to consider data center regulations

Logan County, Illinois officials are set to consider new zoning regulations for large-scale data centers, spurred by a proposed $5 billion Hut 8 Corp. project. This comes as a 60-day moratorium on data center zoning applications expires and amid ongoing public opposition over potential impacts on farmland, electricity rates, and water supplies. The Zoning Board will review recommendations ahead of a potential County Board vote.
