Moratorium records marked “Moratorium Nation” come from the Moratorium Nation inventory by Michael J. Bommarito, licensed CC BY 4.0; status follows that inventory, and we mark a record ended once its recorded end date has passed. Records marked “Siting Radar” are our own detections in public meeting documents: the status is the latest step we saw, with a link to the source. Not legal advice.
As of Sep 30, 2026, our records show data center moratorium activity in Hope Township (pending) and Prairieville Township (adopted) in Barry County. See the table on this page for dates and sources.
