Restraining Order Extended on Benton County Data Center Ordinance

A temporary restraining order preventing Benton County's 12-month data center moratorium has been extended for two weeks. NSI 6, which plans to build a data center, argues the ordinance is illegal because the county lacks a zoning plan and is selectively prohibiting land use. Both parties presented arguments in court, and the judge granted an additional 15 days for the restraining order to remain in place.
