Local votes and rules

🗺️ Zoning change · Unincorporated Lincoln County

Commissioners changed the zoning rules so data centers in light industrial (I-1) zones need a conditional use permit instead of being allowed outright. That means a public hearing for every new data center. Fuller data center rules were being drafted.

✋ Turned down · Unincorporated Lincoln County

Commissioners voted 3-2 against a pause on new data centers twice: in June and again on July 14, 2026 (a 6-month pause). The majority said current zoning rules give enough control, so applications are still reviewed one by one.

🗳️ Election · Unincorporated Lincoln County

Residents started a recall petition against the three county commissioners who voted against a data center pause. Signatures were still being gathered in late August 2026.
