According to a Facebook post by board member Debra Kraft, the County Zoning Board of Appeals recommended a one-year moratorium during its meeting Wednesday evening.Â
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday plans to temporarily halt offering tax breaks to data centers that apply to build in the state and intends to call on lawmakers and other groups to hash out a framework in the fall veto session for how the centers should be developed.
The moratorium was in response to efforts from Hut 8, which was aiming to bring a data center to the area.
