Data Center Concerns

At Tuesday’s Plymouth County Board of Supervisors Meeting, Chairman Don Kass told the board that the issue of the construction of data centers came up during the annual conference of the Iowa Association of Counties held in August.

Kass told us that decommissioning these facilities needs to be addressed.

He says this needs to be considered in any future agreement.

Kass called this a complicated issue that includes zoning rules.

In June of this year, the Supervisors approved a one year revocable moratorium on the construction of data centers and industrial battery storage in Plymouth County.
