Episode Details

Missoula County is poised to hit pause on new and expanding data centers, with commissioners set to vote on a temporary freeze during a public hearing Thursday at 2 PM. The move aims to give the county time to update zoning rules to protect public health, safety, and natural resources from the growing environmental and logistical impacts of these facilities — including massive energy and water use, heat, noise, and vibrations. While legally authorized, the county must prove an emergency affecting public welfare and must begin a 30-day study to validate the need. If approved, interim zoning could last up to a year, with possible renewal — all while the community weighs in at the public hearing.
