Commission enacts 60‑day moratorium on accepting data‑center permit applications

Lowndes County Board of Commissioners · August 26, 2026

Summary

The Lowndes County Board approved a 60‑day moratorium on accepting applications for data‑center permits; the resolution mirrors a work‑session discussion and was adopted by unanimous vote to allow ordinance work and further public input.

The board revisited a topic discussed at its recent work session and, in the absence of Miss Dukes (county manager), the chair introduced a resolution to impose a 60‑day moratorium on accepting new applications for data‑center permits. The chair said the motion reflects the work‑session discussion and the board approved the resolution by voice vote.

Commissioners recorded no recorded dissent and the moratorium covers acceptance of permit applications for the stated 60‑day period; staff and the commission signaled intention to use the pause to work on ordinance language and further community outreach.
