The Woodford County Board is scheduled to consider a data center moratorium during its Oct. 13, 2026 meeting in Eureka, Illinois, according to the published agenda posted on the county’s website.
The item appears under “Unfinished Business” on the agenda, indicating it has been previously discussed by the board and remains unresolved. The agenda also lists building permits under the same unfinished business category.
For Woodford County residents, the matter is relevant because data center moratoriums typically involve decisions about whether to pause or restrict new data center development within county boundaries while policies, zoning rules, or infrastructure impacts are further reviewed. The agenda does not provide additional detail on the specific terms or duration of the moratorium under consideration.
According to the agenda, the meeting will also address new business related to a Mackinaw River log jam, and includes a section for planning and zoning issues. The agenda notes that an executive session may be held if necessary, and includes a review confirming no executive session was held following the prior meeting on August 18, 2026.
