Franklin County Supervisors Propose Zoning Updates Amid Data Center Discussions
Franklin County Board of Supervisors is considering zoning policy updates to manage future developments, including data centers. Approximately 60% of the county's land remains unzoned, allowing potential developments to bypass county oversight.

The Franklin County Board of Supervisors is evaluating changes to zoning laws to better manage development, particularly concerning data centers. Currently, around 60% of the county's land is unzoned, which allows for developments to proceed without county approval.
Supervisors Tim Tatum and Dan Quinn advocate for updates to the zoning ordinance, emphasizing the need for regulatory tools for large infrastructure projects. Tatum has expressed opposition to any data center proposals, while Quinn remains undecided. Balancing property rights with community preferences presents challenges, particularly regarding undesirable developments.
