Board approves 12‑month moratorium on data centers to allow local rules to be drafted
Summary
Marathon County adopted Ordinance 28‑26 to place a temporary moratorium of up to 12 months on data centers while staff develops county rules and standards for those uses.
The Marathon County Board voted to place a moratorium of up to 12 months on data centers (Ordinance 28‑26), giving staff time to draft local standards and bring an ordinance back for board consideration.
Chair Gibbs explained the ordinance will allow staff to develop regulations for data centers that are not currently addressed in Chapter 17; the moratorium permits time for review and possible code language to be returned to the board. The motion carried but was not unanimous.
