Local votes and rules
⏸️ Pause on new data centers

✋ Turned down
The county zoning appeals board voted unanimously to uphold staff's rejection of a 200,000-square-foot, 60-megawatt data center at the old paper mill site on Jones Road. Staff found code problems and said they could not take the application while the moratorium was pending.
