Warrick County Vote On Proposed Data Center Ordinance

Warrick County commissioners have voted to table a proposed data center ordinance after hearing from residents last night. Some residents say they want another six-month moratorium. Commissioners also talked about land in Boonville and the possibility of annexing some property there for a data center.
The Area Plan Commission voted 5-to-2 last week.. to send the proposed ordinance to commissioners with an unfavorable recommendation. Representatives from CenterPoint Energy were also at last night’s meeting, saying data centers could lower utility rates.
