Local votes and rules
⏸️ Pause on new data centers · Unincorporated Mercer County
County commissioners voted 3-2 to pause data center applications for one year, so staff can write rules. It came as Basin Electric and NextEra looked at the county for a gas plant and data center campus. The county had no application at the time.
