From the meeting
At its September 14, 2026 meeting, council held the public hearing and third reading on Ordinance #1012, a 12-month moratorium on data center permits. The ordinance also directs county staff and the Planning Commission to study zoning, setbacks, buffering, noise, water, wastewater, electric infrastructure, emergency response, traffic, and decommissioning. That makes this a policy and planning trigger for future land-use, utility, and infrastructure work rather than a current procurement.
The moratorium review is due within six months of adoption.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Laurens County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
