Cheyenne County commissioners institute moratorium on data centers, draft resolution
Summary
The Board reached consensus to institute a moratorium on data centers in the county while staff drafts a resolution setting policy and regulations to be considered at the next meeting.
Cheyenne County commissioners on April 20 reached consensus to impose a temporary moratorium on the establishment of data centers within county limits while staff drafts formal policies and regulations.
Administrator Marcy Brossman told the Board she would prepare a resolution for formal consideration at the next meeting. Commissioners said the pause will give the county time to define permitting rules and address unanswered regulatory questions before new data center applications are accepted.
The discussion produced no formal timeline for how long the moratorium will last; the Board directed Brossman to bring a draft resolution to the next meeting for action. No vote count or formal ordinance number was recorded during the discussion; the transcript records only that the Board reached consensus to institute the moratorium.
