Summary
On 17 February 2026 the Monclova Township Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 02172026-01, a resolution imposing a temporary moratorium on the approval, establishment or construction of any data center in the township, with all three trustees named in the roll call voting yes. The resolution bars township officials and staff from accepting for filing or acting on any application or petition for a permit, zoning or land-use approval for a data processing center, and suspends township land use regulations for data center development during that period. It took effect on adoption and runs for twelve months; no calendar end date is printed. It is a temporary resolution, not a permanent prohibition, and does not by itself order existing facilities to close.
What this does not establish
- The resolution prints the motion and a roll-call vote but no adoption date and no signatures. The 17 February 2026 date comes from the heading of the chair's statement read into the record just before the motion in the same document, which matches the resolution number and the township's note that the resolution was presented at its 17 February 2026 meeting. Meeting minutes were not reviewed.
- The stored end date, 17 February 2027, is computed from the twelve-month term; the resolution prints no calendar end date.
- The resolution gives 'data processing centers' the meaning in the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution; that definition was not read.
- It applies only within the territory of Monclova Township.
Unresolved questions
- Whether the trustees adopt data center zoning regulations, or extend or end the resolution, before the twelve-month term runs out.
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.
