Local siting risk report for one site
Before you option land, see everything on record about moratoria, siting ordinances and zoning changes for data centers, battery storage, solar, wind and crypto mining around the site: the governments whose boundaries contain it, every item we hold for them and for every government within your radius, enacted moratoria with distances, upcoming meetings, and how much of the area we can actually see.
Built automatically from our database in minutes; delivered to your dashboard and by email as HTML and PDF. Sites in Ohio, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana and Virginia; each report states how much of the area around the site we monitor, which in recently added states is little or nothing yet. Not legal advice.
Every line is cited
- Quotes are checked word for word against the stored text of the cited page before the report is released.
- Each statement links to a public document and page, a Moratorium Nation record (CC BY 4.0) or a Census boundary.
- The "local restriction activity" level is a published rule over counts and dates, not a prediction or a legal opinion.
- Coverage gaps are stated: if we cannot see a government's agendas, the report says so.
What is in the report
Who governs the site
The city or village, township or town, and county whose Census boundaries contain the point, with their websites, agenda platforms, what we monitor and the date of the latest document we read.
What they have done
Pending items first (hearings, first readings, votes scheduled), then adoptions, extensions and rescissions, then earlier discussion, each with date, detected stage, quote and page citation.
What is happening nearby
Every government within your radius (5 to 50 miles) with recorded activity, enacted moratoria from the Moratorium Nation inventory with distances, and activity density by distance and recency.
What comes next
Upcoming meetings of the governing bodies where agendas or notices are already posted.
What we cannot see
Monitoring coverage for the site's governments and for the radius, including documents listed but not yet read.
How to read it
Methodology, limits and a plain not-legal-advice statement, plus a full numbered source list.
