Summary
Anderson County has just slammed the brakes on new data centers with a unanimous two-year moratorium, halting permits and site approvals for AI computing, bitcoin mining, and battery energy storage facilities—though residential storage is exempt. The move follows community outcry at a public meeting, signaling the county is actively listening. While the pause is flexible and can be adjusted or lifted at any time by the commission, it marks a bold, cautious step to evaluate the impact of these massive tech operations before moving forward.
