Local votes and rules
⏸️ Pause on new data centers
Council approved a six-month pause on applications for data centers, bitcoin and crypto mining sites and server farms while it updates zoning and looks at water, noise and power use. No project was proposed.
🗳️ Public vote · Baldwin County
Stockton-area voters approved zoning for their area, 215 to 161. This starts a 180-day pause on new development while a local committee drafts rules. The vote grew out of fights over a 4,500-acre solar farm that will power Meta's Montgomery data center; the county said the vote has little effect on that solar farm.
