Local votes and rules
📜 Data center rules · Decatur
Council voted 4-1 for Ordinance 26-4647. Data centers are allowed only in industrial zones and only as a 'special exception': the developer presents to the council, which advises the Board of Zoning Adjustment, and both steps are public. Developers must study water and power use, on-site power, noise, fire and hazardous waste. No size limit.

⏸️ Pause on new data centers · Morgan County
County Commission passed a one-year pause aimed at the planned bitcoin mining data center on Union Road near Somerville, to study noise and environmental effects. Alabama counties mostly lack zoning power, and the county attorney said the county cannot enforce it; utility work at the site went on in August.
