Brown County Commission has passed a resolution banning data centers and commercial battery energy storage facilities with capacity over one megawatt-hour within the county, defining prohibitions to include AI, cryptocurrency operations, and similar computing storage functions.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a closed local market as Brown County halts new data centers and large battery storage projects. Avoid relying on this county for expansion and look for alternative locations with open zoning for computing infrastructure.
