Local votes and rules
๐ Other
Henderson City Council decided not to adopt a proposed 180-day pause on data centers. Instead it told city staff to write tougher rules: any future data center would need its own negotiated contract with the city (a development agreement) covering water, power, noise, heat and distance from homes. The city said no data center applications were on file.
โ Approved
Henderson's Planning Commission approved a permit (conditional use permit and design review) for a Trammell Crow data center complex: five buildings on 157.3 acres at Bentonite Avenue and Whidbey Road in the Eldorado Valley. The approval lasts six years, to 2030. In March 2026 a real estate agent told the city the data center plan was no longer moving forward.
