From the meeting
At the September 14, 2026 planning commission meeting, the township noted the data center moratorium was approved at the last Board meeting and will run for one year while rules and regulations are developed. A sample ordinance had been obtained, so the policy work is now moving toward a local framework for data centers. The commission also noted a Data Center Zoning Seminar on Nov.
10 in Marquette, which signals continuing planning work. This is an open-planning lead tied to future zoning and permitting decisions.

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.
When will Town of Ely issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Ely's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Town of Ely before the RFP is published?
