Episode Details

Kent County, Delaware, just rolled out new rules to slow the rush of data centers, following New Castle County’s lead — and residents are loud about wanting more control. The ordinance blocks development in certain zones and adds layers of approval, not a full ban, though some push for one. Public outcry was strong, with applause for off-limits zones and even a state senator calling for a total stop. Inspired by Loudoun County’s model, officials now consider requiring conditional permits for all future projects — even as no active proposals exist in unincorporated Kent County. Economic development folks expect little interest here, pointing instead to municipalities more welcoming to the tech boom — but even those are starting to set their own guardrails.
