Adair County passes resolution to review data-center and large-facility standards
On September 1, the Adair County Commission passed Resolution 2026-1 declaring an intent to review possible standards for large-scale technology and renewable facilities, including data centers and cryptocurrency facilities. The county says it has no zoning regulations for development of large-scale facilities to meet technology needs. The review topics include districts, setbacks and scale, screening, noise, water conservation, electrical coordination, backup generators and fuel, traffic and construction, and safety. No numeric limits, ordinance, permit, application or project approval were adopted in this resolution.
