Pending votes and hearings

Upcoming meetings where a local government in Ohio, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana or Virginia is scheduled to discuss, hear or vote on a moratorium, zoning amendment or siting ordinance for data centers, battery storage, solar or wind. Each item links to its source; items from the governments' own agendas, packets and minutes quote the passage verbatim.

Updated daily from 5,242 monitored local governments out of 8,088 in the registry. An empty list does not mean nothing is pending: many governments post agendas late or not at all, and coverage differs a lot by state. Methodology · Atom feed
