Summary
The Meridian Charter Township Board approved Ordinance 2026-03 for final adoption at its regular meeting on 19 May 2026, establishing a six-month moratorium on data center applications while regulations are developed. The township's legal notice was set for publication in City Pulse on 3 June 2026. The notice does not state when the moratorium takes effect or the day it ends. It is a temporary moratorium, not a permanent prohibition.
What this does not establish
- This record rests on the township's legal notice; the full text of the zoning amendment was not read.
- The notice gives no start day for the six-month term, so no end date is calculated; depending on its start, the term may end in late 2026.
Unresolved questions
- When Ordinance 2026-03 took effect and the day its six-month term ends.
- Whether the township extends the moratorium or adopts data center regulations.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
