Linn County has dropped a proposal to amend its EU-2 zoning district to allow large data centers near nuclear power facilities after public opposition. The county is continuing a moratorium on new data center rezoning to further study impacts before making zoning decisions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Linn County leaders halted zoning changes that would have let data centers locate with nuclear plants, leaving the door open but locked for now. If your business models rely on quick zoning wins near nuclear sites, expect delays and public scrutiny in this and similar US markets.
