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 Fredonia Township (pending), Pennfield Charter Township (pending), City of Marshall (in force), Marengo Township (in force), Burlington Township (adopted), Emmett Charter Township (adopted) and Marshall Township (adopted) in Calhoun County. See the table on this page for dates and sources.
None known as of Sep 30, 2026. We monitor 23 of 28 governments in Calhoun County, so a moratorium could exist without appearing here.
