MCPHERSON, Kan. – The city McPherson Board of Zoning Appeals discussed the McPherson County temporary moratorium on data centers at its meeting Tuesday evening, August 4.

McPherson County currently has a temporary moratorium on data centers. The McPherson County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to discuss the moratorium at its August 10 meeting at 7:00 p.m. at the McPherson County Building.
