Pottawatomie County’s planning board is scheduled to consider continued discussion of draft data center regulations at its meeting on Nov. 19, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The same meeting agenda lists a continuation hearing on a separate matter — a conditional use permit request for a rock quarry — as an action item, according to the agenda.
The data center item is listed under the agenda’s discussion items as “Data Center Regulations – Continued discussion Draft Regulations from Hearing,” according to the published agenda. This indicates the board has not finalized the draft regulations and is scheduled to continue deliberating them rather than take final action, per the agenda language.
For residents, the agenda matters because it outlines ongoing county-level work on rules that would govern data center development within Pottawatomie County, as well as a separate land-use hearing involving a rock quarry conditional use permit, according to the official record.
