DATA CENTER RESTRICTIONS, LOCAL HOUSING REGS UP FOR REVIEW MONDAY
A few notes looking ahead to a typically crowded First Monday for Lafayette and West Lafayette city councils and the Tippecanoe County commissioners …
HYPERSCALE DATA CENTER ZONING REGULATION UP FOR FINAL VOTES: Proposed zoning restrictions designed to be just shy of an all-out ban on large-scale data centers in Tippecanoe County face a round of final votes Monday, with county commissioners getting the first crack at them that afternoon.
Lafayette and West Lafayette city councils will discuss and vote on the four pages of regulations at their monthly meetings Monday evening.
The proposal aimed at large-scale data centers – those massive warehouse-style server farms looking to set up to support artificial intelligence, streaming services and cloud computing – has been in the works since county commissioners installed stopgap zoning regulations in 2025 with a one-year expiration.
