From the meeting
At its September 28, 2026 meeting the board approved Resolution 2027-11 creating a temporary moratorium on data center applications in unincorporated Poweshiek County. The resolution covers rezoning, zoning permits, conditional use permits, site plans, building permits, and other development applications for data centers of 5 megawatts or more or 10,000 square feet or more. Staff must review zoning standards and report back within 180 days, so the work is still open and regulatory follow-on is likely.
