Planning Commission — August 6, 2026
A 180-day moratorium on data centers has cleared Metro Council's planning committee and goes to the full council a week from this meeting. Several speakers and commissioners want the Planning Commission to endorse it so the rules can be gotten right before the next project arrives.
Planning Commission — August 5, 2026
Several speakers referenced a 180-day moratorium on data center permit applications now moving through Metro Council, urging the commission to support a longer pause so health, water, and energy impacts can be studied.
Planning and Zoning Committee — June 16, 2026
Louisville is racing to regulate data centers after a project blindsided District 1. Draft rules would cap hyperscale facilities at 500,000 square feet, restrict them to industrial zones, add noise and ratepayer protections, and require prevailing wage. The formal moratorium was tabled again, with leaders relying on informal coordination instead.
