Jackson County introduces 120‑day moratorium on data‑center and battery storage applications
Summary
Legislature introduced Ordinance 6074 to implement a 120‑day moratorium on processing data‑center and battery energy storage system land‑use applications to develop long‑term policy and enhanced public notification; the item was assigned to the Health and Environment Committee.
On April 6 the legislature introduced Ordinance 6074, a 120‑day moratorium on processing land‑use applications for data centers and battery energy storage systems. The stated purpose is to develop long‑term policy, county code provisions, regulatory standards and enhanced public notification requirements; the item was introduced by Sean E. Smith and assigned to the Health and Environment Committee for review.
Sponsors said the pause is intended to give the county time to set standards and notification processes before new applications are accepted. The introduction does not enact the moratorium; it places the proposed ordinance into committee for further drafting and public discussion.
