The Marshalltown Plan and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hold a work session on data center regulation during its meeting on Oct. 8, 2026, according to the published agenda posted on the city’s CivicClerk portal.
The agenda lists commission members Mahala Casady, Deirdre Gruendler, Benjamin Harris-Medina, Patrick Streit, Stephen Valbracht and Marty Wymore, followed by a single business item: “Data Center Regulation Work Session,” before adjournment. The agenda does not provide additional detail on the specific zoning language, locations or proposals to be discussed.
For residents, the session matters because it concerns how the city may regulate data center development — a land-use matter that falls under the commission’s planning and zoning authority. The agenda does not specify whether any formal vote or recommendation is scheduled to follow the work session.
