Whitley County Prepares for Data Centers

Whitley County is gearing up for potential data center development by hosting a public listening session on June 24th—before even drafting new zoning rules—to hear community concerns and ideas. With growing interest in tech infrastructure, officials aim to balance economic growth with environmental and land-use protection. Nathan Bilger of the Planning and Building Department notes local businesses already tied to tech could benefit, while residents worry about water and land impacts. The session is purely for feedback, similar to their solar code process but expected to move faster. Those unable to attend can submit written comments by July 6th.
