Council holds first reading of temporary moratorium on data center development

Plain City Council · August 5, 2026

Summary

At first reading, Council introduced Ordinance 37-2026 to establish a temporary moratorium on data center development within the Village limits and declared an emergency; no final action was taken at this meeting.

On Aug. 5 the Plain City Council held the first reading of Ordinance 37-2026, titled "Establishing a Temporary Moratorium on Data Center Development Within the Corporate Limits of the Village of Plain City and Declaring an Emergency." The item was listed as a first reading; the transcript records the ordinance title but does not show a deliberative discussion or a final vote on the ordinance at this meeting.

Because the meeting minutes record only the first reading, the ordinance remains at the introductory stage pending further Council consideration or subsequent readings. The transcript does not specify proposed moratorium length, geographic scope beyond "within the corporate limits," or ordinance text details; those items would need to be reviewed in the formal ordinance document prior to any final action.
