Chisago County board directs 12‑month moratorium on data center development
Summary
The county board unanimously directed staff to draft an interim zoning ordinance imposing a 12‑month moratorium on data center development and scheduled a public hearing for August 5, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
On July 15, 2026, the Chisago County Board of Commissioners voted to direct county staff to prepare an interim zoning ordinance enacting a 12‑month moratorium on data center development. Commissioner Swenson moved the directive; Commissioner Dunne seconded it, and the motion carried with all five commissioners voting in favor.
The board also scheduled a public hearing on the interim ordinance for August 5, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. No opposition was recorded in the meeting minutes. This item appears as a Board direction rather than a final land‑use decision; the ordinance and the public hearing are the next procedural steps for any implementation.
