⏸️ Pause on new data centers · Unincorporated Jackson County
Supervisors voted 3-0 to extend and widen the county's pause on high-density computing and data processing sites, including data centers, in the countryside until August 4, 2027. The first pause began in September 2024, after a request to put a data mining site near homes. It can end sooner if rules are adopted.
