The Wayne County Planning Commission is scheduled to consider a proposed amendment to the Texas Township Zoning Ordinance regarding data centers at its meeting on Sept. 8, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The amendment, received by the commission for review, would regulate data centers by permitting them as a Conditional Use in the Industrial Zoning District, according to the agenda document. The agenda indicates the commission has prepared comments on the proposed regulation for discussion.
This matters to residents because the amendment would establish the zoning framework under which data centers could be developed in Texas Township, specifically defining industrial zones as the areas where such facilities could be considered under a conditional-use review process rather than being outright permitted or prohibited.
