Residents press Nelson County to study data centers, ask whether moratorium should be an ordinance

During the public-comment period, multiple residents urged the fiscal court to delay data-center approvals and study the long-term impacts. Anita Ellison, who said she represents a local group called We Are Nelson County, told the court: "We need to study. We need to educate ourselves on what data centers are," and asked whether a resolution or a formal ordinance would be preferable.
