Mountain Home Pauses New Data Center Applications and Permits

Mountain Home’s City Council adopted an emergency moratorium on accepting data-center applications and issuing permits within city limits. The action followed public opposition to a proposal at the Bennett Ranch Industrial Complex. According to CBS2, the mayor said the developer had not submitted a formal land-use application or building permit. For industrial owners and investors, WCG’s takeaway is to verify jurisdiction, permitted uses and the approval process early when evaluating data-center opportunities.
