Local votes and rules
📌 Other · Jackson
Council passed a non-binding resolution 5-2 asking the city to look for good places for data centers, away from homes. It suggests land near Hawkins Field and the Jackson airport. The city attorney is writing a new data center ordinance.
⏸️ Pause on new data centers · Jackson
Council voted 5-2 to pause data centers for 183 days. During the pause the city will not accept or approve permits, rezonings or building permits for data centers. City-owned land near the Jackson airport is left out. Because the vote was not unanimous, it took effect 30 days later. An earlier version was tabled on May 19.
🗺️ Zoning change · Jackson
Saxum Investment Group asked to rezone about 230 acres on Forest Avenue in northwest Jackson to light industrial for a possible data center. The Planning Board put off the vote until the city has data center rules. Council leaders said no data center will be approved until then.
📜 Data center rules · Clinton
Aldermen voted unanimously to define data centers in the zoning code, including crypto mining and AI centers. New data centers need a conditional use permit and are only allowed in the I-1 and I-2 industrial zones.
✅ Approved · Clinton
Aldermen approved a conditional use permit, a size variance and a deal to pay a set fee instead of regular property taxes (fee in lieu) for a $750 million data center in the former Delphi building at 1001 Industrial Park Drive. The company was not named at first; Amazon later said it will retrofit the building.
