Council and residents discuss rumor of data center outside town limits; no formal county application reported
Summary
Residents and council members raised concerns about a possible data center on a parcel outside the Milford limits; staff and county planning said no formal application has been filed and a special exception would be required for data centers in the county zoning structure.
Residents and certain council members discussed a social‑media post alleging a data center project on property just outside town limits. One council member (S8) said he had seen a sales contract and believed earnest money had been placed, but staff from area planning reported they had not received a formal application.
Councilmembers said the county would need a special exception or application for such a use and described prior local controversies over large industrial projects. The discussion stressed transparency and public input: one commissioner said town citizens should drive the response, and staff agreed to monitor for a formal application and return information to the council if an application is filed.
