Show Notes
Jackson Countys Legislature imposes a 120-day moratorium on data center applications, aiming to revise land use rules amid a tech boom. The move, proposed by Vice Chair Sean Smith, halts rezonings, site plans, and special permits for data centers and battery energy storage sites. The pause allows for tougher standards, including better public notices for large projects, as environmental concerns and public safety flags arise. The ordinance, cleared as solid and legal, faces opposition from local residents, particularly over a planned $6.6 billion AI data center in eastern Independence.
