Local votes and rules
📌 Other
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
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
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.
