Scope correction: reporting describes a moratorium on all new development to prevent additional AI data center projects, not a rule limited to data centers.Green Township, Harrison County, Ohio Resolution imposing a 12-month moratorium on new development involving data centers (July 14, 2026) — sponsors: Green Township Board of Trustees

What this means

A 12-month pause on new development would substantially delay new data center projects, though the township could extend it (12-month moratorium on new development). The proposed center on land already purchased is exempt, and any new zoning would need voter approval (considered to be grandfathered in).
