⏸️ Pause on new data centers
County commissioners signed an emergency 180-day pause on data center permit applications in the parts of the county outside city limits (Ordinance 2026-02). It does not cover Pocatello or other cities. Staff will use the time to write the county's first data center rules on water, power costs, noise, light and setbacks, with public hearings later.
