North Franklin Township will hold a public hearing on April 14 regarding an ordinance to regulate cryptocurrency mining and data center facilities. The ordinance, drafted by Sweat Law Offices, is intended to proactively address potential developments, although no data center proposals currently exist.

In Sedgwick County, public feedback is being solicited on proposed data centers, with a town hall meeting scheduled due to expected turnout. Residents, particularly near Colwich, have expressed opposition, prompting a pause on permit applications while concerns about safety, health, and community impact are addressed.
