Little Rock Township
Anti-Data Center Policies
Little Rock Township requires voter approval, following review, for future commercial data centers on public or commercial property; voters can block them, but the rule is not a ban. The description inconsistently calls the enacted measure conditional.
current law · Little Rock TownshipRequires every future commercial data center proposed on public or commercial property in Little Rock Township to win approval in a special public vote after reviews are complete.Little Rock Township Resolution Requiring Referendum Approval for Future Commercial Data Centers (May 5, 2026)
What this means
If enacted, the measure would require every future commercial data center on public or commercial property in Little Rock Township to win voter approval after review, creating a significant hurdle and the possibility voters could stop a project (township-voter approval requirement). It is not an outright ban, and its scope is limited to that township and those properties, but it would likely add delay and uncertainty for developers.
