NACO staff briefs Logan County; commissioners discuss data center moratorium
Summary
A Nebraska Association of County Officials representative updated Logan County commissioners on services and legislation; a county attendee raised concerns about data centers and the board discussed a possible moratorium and upcoming Preserve the Sandhills meeting.
Elaine Menzel of the Nebraska Association of County Officials told the Logan County Board of Commissioners on June 17 that NACO can assist counties with recent legislation, budgets and benefit services. She introduced Jessica Witting as the new NACO West Benefit Services employee.
Marcia Hora provided the board with information about data centers and the Nebraska Public Power District R-Line Project. Board members and attendees discussed whether the county should institute a moratorium on data center development to allow further study. The transcript records that "discussion was had on instituting a moratorium," but does not attribute a motion or vote on that point.
Hora also encouraged commissioners and residents to attend an upcoming Preserve the Sandhills meeting in Thedford for more information about regional projects and potential local impacts. No formal directive or ordinance was adopted at the meeting; commissioners indicated they would gather more information before taking any regulatory steps.
