Summary
The Town Board of the Town of New Denmark in Brown County adopted Resolution #2026-04, dated 8 June 2026, by roll call vote. The resolution adopts a one-year moratorium on the placing of data centers within the town while the Plan Commission and Zoning Administrator develop siting, zoning and operating regulations, and it allows a six-month extension. Apart from directing the clerk to post or publish it, the resolution does not state when it takes effect. It is a temporary resolution, not a permanent prohibition.
What this does not establish
- The adoption day is the resolution's dated day, 8 June 2026; the posted copy does not show the vote tally, and the clerk's certificate refers to the Town Board action on that date.
- The posting or publication date required by state law was not found, so the start of the one-year period is not stated here.
- The resolution's title refers to approval and siting, but its operative text speaks of the placing of data centers and does not list which applications or permits are paused.
Unresolved questions
- When the resolution was posted or published and took effect, which sets the start and end of its one-year moratorium.
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.
