Board adopts temporary moratoria on anaerobic digestion facilities and data centers
Summary
Gordon County commissioners voted unanimously to extend temporary moratoria on anaerobic digestion facilities and on data centers while staff and the commission review related land‑use standards and potential impacts.
The Gordon County Board of Commissioners adopted two resolutions on July 7 extending temporary moratoria on anaerobic digestion facilities and on data centers.
Chair M.L. “Bud” Owens presented the item and Commissioner Chad Steward moved to approve both resolutions; the motions carried 5‑0. The minutes record only the adoption of the resolutions; the record does not specify the moratoria durations or detailed next steps, only that the commission extended existing temporary moratoria.
The board gave no further detail in the minutes about studies, timelines, or specific regulatory changes under review. Staff follow‑up is implied to clarify how the moratoria will be applied to new permit applications.
