Committee to ask council whether data‑center moratorium should be renewed or replaced

The committee opened discussion about the village’s data‑center moratorium, which members said appears to have expired after a six‑month period.

Jesse raised the item, asking whether the committee should recommend that council extend or replace the moratorium. Members said they were generally supportive of discussing a new moratorium and that the process for reestablishing one would likely mirror the original action. Jeff and other members noted outstanding zoning questions that could inform the decision.

The committee agreed it would be prudent to draft legislation and present it to full council rather than simply discuss the concept; Jesse accepted a task to work with the solicitor on the moratorium draft while another member continued work on GI/Ohio State items.
