The Sawyer County MDD Ad-Hoc Committee is scheduled to meet Oct. 27, 2026, to consider town responses regarding proposed zoning changes affecting data centers and solar development, according to the published agenda posted on the county’s CivicClerk portal.
According to the agenda, the committee will review responses from local towns that suggest changes or alternatives to current ordinances, including a possible extension of the Solar Moratorium Ordinance, disapproval of a Data Center Ordinance, and a request for a new Data Center Moratorium Ordinance. The agenda states the committee is scheduled to advance amendments to the full County Board for further consideration.
The agenda also notes that the county’s Zoning Committee has already approved related items, though the published agenda excerpt does not specify further details of that approval.
This matters to Sawyer County residents because the outcomes of these zoning deliberations could shape how and where data center and solar projects are permitted to develop within the county, according to the agenda materials.
