Mayor asks Moscow Mills staff to draft rules for data centers and solar farms
Summary
Mayor Lisa Meyer asked the Board whether the city should develop regulations for data centers and solar farms before any formal applications arrive; City Attorney Cindy Davenport agreed to work with the mayor to draft materials for a future meeting.
Moscow Mills, Mo. — Mayor Lisa Meyer asked the Board of Aldermen on March 16 whether the city should prepare regulations for data centers and solar farms, saying the facilities "are popping up around us" and that having rules in place could help the city respond if developers apply.
Cindy Davenport, the city attorney, said she would meet with the mayor to draft potential regulations and bring them back to the board for consideration at an upcoming meeting. No applications for data centers or solar farms were before the board at this meeting and no formal direction beyond drafting language was given.
Mayor Meyer framed the discussion as a proactive step: city staff will prepare proposed language for the board's review rather than waiting for an application to trigger ad hoc review or emergency zoning changes.
