The Deperewi Plan Commission is scheduled to consider a discussion item on a possible moratorium on hyperscale data center construction at its Aug. 24, 2026 meeting, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item states staff is continuing to work on a proposed moratorium of no longer than 12 months, with a formal presentation expected to come before the Plan Commission in September 2026. The Aug. 24 meeting also includes a separate item for a new 12-foot-wide WPS utility easement across Parcels WD-917-1 and WD-917-2, according to the agenda.
The moratorium discussion matters to residents because it concerns whether new hyperscale data center construction could face a temporary building pause in the area while local officials evaluate policy. No formal moratorium proposal has been presented to the Plan Commission as of the Aug. 24 agenda; that presentation is scheduled for September 2026, per the agenda language.
