📜 Data center rules · Unincorporated Williams County

Williams County added data center rules (Ordinance 2024-01-02). A data center needs a conditional use permit and must be at least 1 mile from homes, schools, churches and parks, and 3 miles from another data center. The county uses distance instead of a noise limit. In August 2024 (Ordinance 2024-08-20) it also allowed data centers in farm zones with a permit.
