Carrolton council directs staff to draft ordinance banning data centers
Summary
On March 23, 2026 the Carrolton Village Council voted 6-0 to direct staff to draft an ordinance that would prohibit data centers in the village; the motion was made by Council member Tangler and seconded by Council member Locke.
The Carrolton Village Council voted unanimously March 23 to direct staff to draft an ordinance that would prohibit data centers within village limits.
Council member Tangler moved that an ordinance be written to "not accept" data centers in the village; Council member Locke seconded. The motion passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote. The council did not provide ordinance text or an immediate timeline for consideration; the measure simply directs staff to prepare a draft for a future meeting.
The action followed council discussion during the regular meeting at the municipal building. No public comments on the proposal were recorded at the session, and no legal references or specific zoning language were presented at the time. Additional details, including any draft ordinance language, required regulatory findings, or proposed effective dates, were not specified at the meeting.
The next step is administrative: staff will prepare the ordinance draft and bring it back to the council for formal introduction and possible further readings and votes.
