The Data Center Divide

Simpson County

Neutral Data Center Policies

Simpson County repealed Ordinance 440.70 to avoid confusion, stating its provisions were codified in Ordinance 920.133. The repeal alone does not show a change in substantive rules.

What this means

Administrative repeal with no independently demonstrated substantive deregulation: the ordinance states that Ordinance 920.133 codifies the provisions of Ordinance 440.70 and identifies the purpose as avoiding confusion between the two ordinances. Neutral classification is limited to this repeal; exact substantive continuity requires review of Ordinance 920.133.
