Sabey Decatur Township campus moratorium Mar 1 2026 |
Sabey Data Centers | Decatur Township, Indianapolis (Marion County) | Metropolitan Development Commission approved the $4B Sabey project in March 2026; one of the three flashpoint projects behind Indianapolis's moratorium debate. Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission approved about $240 million in tax breaks for Sabey's $4 billion Decatur Township data center on 16 September 2026, with Commissioner Schumacher voting against. Community commitments reported include $29.8 million to $39.8 million of investment, aquatic center financing, $5 million for nearby roads, and $50,000 for The Arts Council of Indianapolis. The Metropolitan Development Commission had approved the 250 MW, 130-acre project's variance 6-2 on 18 March 2026, and it is one of three previously approved projects exempt from the Marion County moratorium adopted 10 August 2026 |

AWS Hobart data center campus (Hobart Tech Park and Ewen Farm) fill permit lawsuit litigation Suit pending in Lake Superior Court (filing date not stated); court appearance postponed 22 September 2026; reported 27 September 2026 |
Amazon Web Services | Lake Superior Court (suit against the Hobart Plan Commission and Common Council) | Four Eagle Creek subdivision residents have sued the Hobart Plan Commission and Common Council in Lake Superior Court seeking a preliminary injunction to nullify the fill permit the Plan Commission approved, without findings of fact, for mass grading of the AWS site, aiming to restart the plat and site plan approval process. The city has moved to dismiss; a possible ruling on 22 September 2026 slipped when a plaintiffs' attorney could not appear, and an attorney conference was set for 30 September 2026. Grading continues meanwhile; the Plan Commission granted preliminary plat approval in May and tabled final plat approval on 4 September 2026. |

American Tower Corp. | Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission | American Tower Corp. withdrew its rezoning petition for a 20,000-square-foot data center on 7 acres of its property at 7701 Walnut Drive in Pike Township by an attorney's email on 2 February 2026, ahead of a 12 February hearing before the Metropolitan Development Commission hearing examiner. The company said it withdrew after learning Indianapolis is revising its zoning regulations and would review the project once that process is complete. Residents and environmental groups had opposed the plan. |

Boone County data center moratorium moratorium Approved unanimously 15 June 2026; effective 16 June 2026 through 15 June 2027 |
n.a. | Boone County Board of Commissioners | The Boone County, Indiana, Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance on Monday 15 June 2026 establishing a one-year moratorium on new data center development in unincorporated areas of the county, effective 16 June 2026 through 15 June 2027. The Boone County Area Plan Commission had recommended the moratorium by 6-0 votes on 6 May and 3 June 2026. The county said it will use the pause to study data center impacts while updating its 2009 Comprehensive Plan and 1998 Zoning Ordinance. |

Cass County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted April 2026 |
n.a. | Cass County | Cass County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated April 2026. Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance Comm-Ord-2026-08 on 21 April 2026, on the Plan Commission's favorable recommendation from an Apr 7 hearing. The ordinance amends the zoning ordinance's district-use table to mark "Data Processing" a prohibited use in every district, Agricultural, Residential, Business, Industrial and Commercial General, a permanent ban, not a time-limited pause. All three commissioners (Ruth Baker, president; Mike Deitrich; Roger Spencer) signed it, 3-0. No named company or project triggered it. "Cass County" + "data center" news searches are dominated by an unrelated fight in Cass County, Michigan, do not conflate the two. The measure has no end date by design. |
n.a. | |
Clark County one-year data center moratorium moratorium Approved unanimously 27 August 2026; one year; single outlet |
n.a. | Clark County Commissioners | The Clark County Commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance on Thursday 27 August 2026 imposing a one-year moratorium on data center construction in the unincorporated county. The county plan commission had earlier voted to recommend the measure. |
n.a. | |
Clarksville data center moratorium moratorium Enacted July 2026 |
n.a. | Clarksville | Clarksville, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated July 2026. Permanent ban on data centers; town council updated ordinances to prohibit data center facilities. The measure has no end date by design. |

Clinton County data center, precast plant and hydroponic farm rezoning denied Denied 20 January 2026 |
Not named in reporting | Clinton County | The Clinton County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 on 20 January 2026 to deny rezoning about 714.55 acres from A-1 agricultural to I-1 light industrial for a combined data center, precast plant and hydroponic farm. Commissioners cited the lack of signed, matching commitments from the developer and landowner and impacts on nearby property owners. The parcels remain agricultural. |
n.a. | |
Dearborn County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted February 2026 |
n.a. | Dearborn County | Dearborn County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated February 2026. Up to 1-year moratorium on processing rezoning applications for commercial solar, battery storage (BESS), and data centers, adopted Feb 25 and effective 26 February 2026. Prompted by 1,700+ petition signatures against Linea Energy's roughly 1,200-acre solar proposal for Manchester Township; no data center application had been filed. The county is drafting a solar ordinance first and has paused data-center/BESS ordinance work until that's done; a 7-member citizen advisory committee (26 applicants for 6 seats) formed in May 2026 to advise on the solar rules. The measure runs to 25 February 2027 and covers rezoning requests. |
n.a. | |
Elkhart data center and battery storage moratorium moratorium Adopted 27 August 2026, runs to December 2027 |
n.a. | City of Elkhart | The Elkhart City Council voted 9-0 on 27 August 2026 to adopt a moratorium on data centers and battery storage facility projects running until December 2027. The city will not accept applications for either use during that period while it develops regulations addressing noise, water use and electricity demand. The moratorium applies to the City of Elkhart only, not to Elkhart County or surrounding jurisdictions. |

Evansville 180-day data center moratorium moratorium Approved 5 October 2026 (second reading); 180 days, extendable; vote count not reported |
n.a. | Evansville City Council | The Evansville City Council approved a 180-day moratorium on new data center development, pausing data center applications, on Monday 5 October 2026 while officials study effects on infrastructure, utilities and neighborhoods and finalize zoning rules. The moratorium can be extended. Council President Ben Trockman said the decision followed sustained public concern. |
n.a. | |
Fayette County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted May 2026 |
n.a. | Fayette County | Fayette County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated May 2026. Commissioners approved the ordinance 5 May 2026, effective May 18, contingent on the City of Connersville adopting the same measure (the county and city share an Area Plan Commission) at its own May 18 meeting. Economic-development CEO Brad Colter told commissioners there was no data-center deal, NDA or discussion in place for the county, and backed the pause so the APC could commission an impact study and draft zoning standards; Commissioner Dale Strong said it "will give the Planning Commission time to develop appropriate zoning regulations." Preemptive, no local data-center policy existed before this. The measure runs to 18 May 2027. |

n.a. | |
Grant County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted March 2026 |
n.a. | Grant County | Grant County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated March 2026. Ordinance 4-2026: 24-month moratorium on improvement-location permits for data centers in unincorporated Grant County, unanimous (3-0), or until the Area Plan Commission's data center zoning amendments are adopted, whichever comes first. Does not bind Marion, Gas City or other incorporated towns. An APC subcommittee finished its first review of a draft ordinance in August 2026. The measure runs to 16 March 2028. |
n.a. | |
Howard County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted August 2026 |
n.a. | Howard County | Howard County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated August 2026. 1-year permit moratorium in unincorporated Howard County, adopted unanimously (3-0) after the Plan Commission's nearly unanimous favorable recommendation. County Attorney Alan Wilson introduced it, saying the zoning ordinance doesn't cover data centers and stating plainly at adoption: "No one is coming. There are no applications pending." Commissioner Brad Bray volunteered to chair a study committee after public pressure; the pause may lift early once rules are drafted or be extended if needed. Separate from the City of Kokomo's own track, where the Common Council rejected a moratorium and is instead advancing a zoning ordinance for a 700-acre annexed industrial park (final vote expected 14 September 2026). The measure runs to 18 August 2027. |
n.a. | |
Madison County data center moratorium extension moratorium Extended 4 August 2026 for one year |
n.a. (county-wide action) | Madison County | Madison County commissioners unanimously approved a one-year extension of the county's data center moratorium on 4 August 2026.

Three previously approved projects are exempt: DC Blox in Warren Township approved July 2026, Metrobloks in Martindale-Brightwood approved May 2026, and Sabey's $4 billion Decatur Township campus approved March 2026. The measure advanced to the Metropolitan Development Commission for final approval on 19 August 2026. |

Merrillville data center moratorium moratorium Enacted June 2026 |
n.a. | Merrillville | Merrillville, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated June 2026. 1-year moratorium (1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027) adopted at the Town Council's 26 May 2026 meeting, citing four developers who had already approached the town. Council President Rick Bella said the town is watching the AWS/"Hobart Devco" campus under construction in neighboring Hobart before writing its own rules. A widely syndicated report of a further 6-month extension (~July 2026) could not be traced to a verifiable source. The measure runs to 31 May 2027. |
n.a. | |
Miami County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted May 2026 |
n.a. | Miami County | Miami County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated May 2026. Moratorium on accepting, processing and approving all data center applications and permits, adopted 4 May 2026 on the Plan Commission's Apr 8 favorable recommendation. No named company drove it, an earlier, unnamed proposal "fell through" per the county's own account, and residents' stated concern was mainly proximity to Boone County's Meta campus. A permanent zoning ordinance (draft standards: 2.5-mile setback from residences, 5,000-ft general setback, per Plan Administrator Corey Roser) was set for final consideration 20 July 2026, but no source confirms whether commissioners adopted, revised or tabled it, the ordinance's terms and the moratorium's current status are unconfirmed pending that. The measure has no documented term and covers all data center uses. |
n.a. | |
New Albany data center moratorium moratorium Enacted July 2026 |
n.a. | New Albany | New Albany, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated July 2026. Up to 1-year moratorium on data center campuses over 100,000 sq ft, citywide and in the 2-mile fringe planning jurisdiction. Proposed by Mayor Jeff Gahan on 9 June 2026, advanced by the Plan Commission Jun 23, and adopted unanimously by the Common Council Jul 16. Study covers infrastructure, utility costs, environmental effects and neighborhood character, feeding into the city's Comprehensive Plan. No company had applied in New Albany at adoption, proactive, driven by regional pressure from the Louisville-area boom (Meta's ~700,000 sq ft facility at River Ridge in neighboring Jeffersonville, and a proposed Shadow Lake Business Park project in Charlestown). The measure runs to 16 July 2027 and applies at a threshold of 100,000 sq ft. |

Outrigger Industrial data center (I-69 and US 50, Washington) rejected Council vote 11 May 2026; single outlet |
Outrigger Industrial | Washington City Council | The Washington City Council voted unanimously on Monday 11 May 2026 to stop all dealings with Outrigger Industrial, developer of a proposed data center at the southeast corner of I-69 and US 50, instead of taking up a draft will-serve letter for city water and electricity. Council member Darin Lunsford said the developer had not answered the city's questions. The council also voted unanimously to ask the city attorney to look into a temporary moratorium on future data center developments. |

Prologis data center rezoning near Leesburg denied Plan commission 8-0 against on 2 April 2025; commissioners denied 3-0 on 22 April 2025 |
Prologis | Kosciusko County Commissioners | The Kosciusko County Commissioners voted 3-0 on Tuesday 22 April 2025 to deny rezoning 554 acres of farmland near Leesburg from agricultural to industrial for a data center planned by Prologis. The vote upheld the Area Plan Commission's 8-0 recommendation of 2 April 2025, made after nearly three hours of public comment. |
n.a. | |
Pulaski County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted February 2026 |
n.a. | Pulaski County | Pulaski County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated February 2026. 12-month moratorium, unanimous, after the Advisory Plan Commission recommended it 5-0 on 26 January 2026. Preemptive, no proposal had been submitted as of the vote. Commissioner Jennifer Knebel cited the strain of the ongoing Mammoth Solar project as a reason for the pause; Commissioner Don Street said he'd hear a proposal if one came and wants the eventual ordinance to cover setbacks, power and water. A search-engine claim of a July 2026 extension vote could not be traced to any real article or county record and is not included here, treat the moratorium as running through approximately 2 February 2027 absent primary-sourced confirmation otherwise. The measure runs to 2 February 2027. |
n.a. | |
Putnam County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted November 2025 |
n.a. | Putnam County | Putnam County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated November 2025. 1-year moratorium on data centers, solar, wind, and SMRs in unincorporated areas, adopted 2-1 (Beck and Helmer for; Woodall opposed, his stated reasoning wasn't individually reported). ~100 residents packed the meeting after EnergyRe's revised application for a 150 MW solar farm near Cloverdale (cut from 200 MW / ~2,000 acres, with 500-ft setbacks added). Commissioner Beck framed the pause as a chance to rewrite the county's Unified Development Ordinance. Primarily a solar fight, no distinct data-center proposal has surfaced for Putnam County, with data centers, wind and SMRs bundled in preemptively. EnergyRe subsequently withdrew the solar filing. The measure runs to 17 November 2026 and applies at a threshold of 150 MW. |

n.a. | St. Joseph County Council | On 22 September 2026 the St. Joseph County Council voted 6-3 for a resolution sponsored by Amy Drake directing the Area Plan Commission to define terms and draft zoning ordinance amendments to prohibit new hyperscale data centers in unincorporated St. Joseph County. Council President Bryan Tanner said the vote is an initiating action, not a ban. Council members Diana Hess, Mark Catanzarite and Dan Schaetzle voted no. WSBT reported the Area Plan Commission has 60 working days to return a recommendation to the council. |

Warrick County 180-day data center moratorium (Project Zora) moratorium Approved unanimously 11 August 2026; 180 days |
Unnamed (Project Zora) | Warrick County Board of Commissioners | The Warrick County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at a special meeting on Tuesday 11 August 2026 to pause data center development for 180 days. The Area Plan Commission had forwarded the moratorium ordinance the evening before. The pause lets a study committee review a proposed data center ordinance, which the plan commission was set to discuss on 9 November. Commissioners had met in executive session in late July about Project Zora, a potential data center on about 1,200 acres of reclaimed mine land. |
n.a. | |
White County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted October 2025 |
n.a. | White County | White County, Indiana, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated October 2025. 12-month moratorium on new data center development in unincorporated White County, adopted 2-1 (Davis and Pass for; Smolek dissenting, saying a development agreement wasn't imminent and the county still owed follow-up on an earlier wind/solar pause). Prompted by Blue Ladder Development's proposed data center at Mid-America Commerce Park in Wolcott (roughly 184-300 acres, up to four data halls), which had seen repeated rezoning delays; residents cited water, land-use and transparency concerns. A same-named "White County" moratorium with different commissioner names found in search is almost certainly a different state's White County, not this one. The measure runs to 20 October 2026, applies at a threshold of 300 acres and covers rezoning requests. |

Zionsville one-year data center moratorium (also wind, solar and battery storage) moratorium Approved 21 September 2026; one year |
n.a. | Zionsville Town Council | The Zionsville Town Council approved a one-year moratorium on 21 September 2026 covering data centers, solar and wind farms and battery energy storage systems, and directed the planning department and Plan Commission to review the zoning code, which has no permitted land use for them. Council attorney Heather Harris said the pause was partly driven by neighboring actions, including Boone County's one-year data center moratorium in June. |

Every state, one page each
Figures beside each state are named sites and blocked, delayed or restricted projects.
Seven references, one system
Capital, delay, policy, water, grid, permits and scarcity are one system seen from seven sides. Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.
