Aug 25, 2026

Staff told the board the previously discussed data center project is on hold; the town has no site‑review or zoning rules to require local permitting for large-scale developments, which is why residents are pushing for stronger local controls or ballot action.

Staff explained that work on the data center is currently suspended and that the developer is still interested but that the town of Jay does not have site‑review ordinances or town‑wide zoning to require local permitting of data centers and other large projects.
