Putnam County Board of Commissioners is moving toward a temporary moratorium on medium- and large-scale data centers starting September 8, 2026, with plans to pause all development approvals until at least August 30, 2027, to assess the impact on the community.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a newly closed door for building medium and large data centers in Putnam County for at least a year. Rethink any plans dependent on local approvals here and use this break to prepare for tougher zoning challenges.
