Supervisors table proposed moratorium on data centers, Bitcoin mining, utility-scale solar and battery storage for Planning & Zoning review
Summary
A proposed 15-month moratorium on permitting for data centers, Bitcoin mining, utility-scale solar and battery storage drew extended debate about scope, timing and Planning & Zoning input; supervisors agreed to table the measure for further review with the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The Dickinson County Board of Supervisors on April 14 considered a resolution proposing a temporary moratorium on accepting or issuing permits for data centers, Bitcoin mining facilities, utility-scale solar collection and battery energy storage systems. The resolution cited potential strains on water and energy resources, noise and land-use impacts, and proposed a 15-month pause while the county updates its comprehensive land-use plan.
