Board tables data center moratorium after discussion; industry asks for six-month limit
Summary
Lyon County supervisors tabled Resolution 2026-24 on a proposed data center moratorium until the next meeting after hearing from industry representatives; county leaders asked that residents receive educational information early in the review process.
The Lyon County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 25, 2026 tabled Resolution 2026-24, which would impose a moratorium on data centers, until its next meeting after hearing from industry and zoning staff. Troy Metzger of LNO Power and Dustin Timmerman of REC attended to discuss the proposal; Zoning Administrator Breckyn Sprock was present to answer questions.
Board members said they want residents to receive educational information about data centers early in the process before any moratorium takes effect. Metzger and Timmerman recommended shortening the proposed moratorium to six months rather than the 12 months initially considered. The minutes record that the Board "expressed a desire for residents to receive educational information about data centers early in the process" and that Metzger and Timmerman "recommended that the proposed moratorium be limited to six months rather than twelve months."
