HARVEY COUNTY
The Harvey County Commission approved a resolution that places a moratorium on the construction of data centers in the unincorporated areas of the county.
The Commission passed the resolution unanimously at its meeting today. It is effective upon legal publication, and will be in place through the end of 2028.
The resolution halts potential applications to operate or develop data centers. The primary use of data centers is to house computer systems for data processing or data storage.
There has not been an application submitted to construct a data center in unincorporated Harvey County to date. Instead, the moratorium allows the Harvey County Planning, Zoning and Environmental Department, as well as the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals, time to research, consider or create regulations governing future development concerning data centers.
