What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Mountain Home City Council approved an emergency moratorium on October 28, 2026, temporarily blocking data center applications and permits. The action followed discussions regarding plans for four three-story buildings at the Bennett Ranch Industrial Campus, which had not submitted the necessary land-use or building permits. Data centers are not currently listed as permitted uses under the city's zoning code.
