Resident requests three-year moratorium on data centers in Pottawatomie County
Summary
During public comment at the July 6 commission meeting, resident Kathryn Tolle requested a three-year moratorium on data centers; commissioners noted they had received multiple letters on data centers but took no formal action.
Kathryn Tolle, a Westmoreland resident, asked the Board of Pottawatomie County Commissioners during public comment to adopt a three-year moratorium on data centers.
"Kathryn Tolle requested a 3-year moratorium on data centers," she told the board. Commissioners noted in later updates that multiple copies of letters concerning data centers had been received but the record shows no motion or vote on a moratorium during the July 6 meeting. The request therefore remains a public comment and an unresolved item for the board to consider at a future meeting.
The matter of data centers surfaced again in the commissioners' update, indicating community concern. No ordinance, formal referral to staff, or next procedural step was recorded in the minutes; the commission did not vote on the moratorium at this meeting.
