Commissioners prohibit data‑center permitting until county ordinance is adopted
Summary
By a unanimous vote, the Blackford County commissioners approved Resolution #2025‑R10, temporarily banning permitting or construction of data centers in the county until an ordinance outlining permitting rules is adopted.
The Blackford County Board of Commissioners voted 3–0 on Nov. 3 to adopt Resolution #2025‑R10, barring permitting or construction of data centers within the county until the board establishes an ordinance to govern them. Commissioner Laura Coons moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer seconded and the board approved it unanimously.
The minutes record the resolution as an interim measure; no draft ordinance or schedule for ordinance development was provided in the meeting record. The action mirrors a separate resolution adopted at the same meeting that temporarily restricts battery storage permitting pending an ordinance.
