The Woodford County Board is scheduled to consider a data center moratorium as part of unfinished business at its meeting on Oct. 13, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item, listed as “Data Center Moratorium,” appears alongside a related unfinished business item on building permits. Both items were carried over from a previous meeting, as they are categorized under “Unfinished Business” rather than new business, according to the agenda.
The matter affects Woodford County, Illinois, residents because county boards that adopt data center moratoriums typically pause the issuance of permits or approvals for such facilities while policies are reviewed, though the specific scope and terms of this moratorium are not detailed in the available agenda excerpt.
According to the agenda, the meeting will also address a separate building permits item and new business concerning a log jam on the Mackinaw River. The agenda lists a public input period and notes that planning and zoning issues are a separate agenda category, with an executive session listed as occurring “if necessary.”
