Edgerton residents will decide whether to impose a 10-year ban on high-impact data centers in a March election, according to a KMBC post on X published Thursday, Nov. 12.
Residents submitted a petition in July, election officials certified sufficient signatures. A Nov. 3 court ruling required the council to adopt the proposed ordinance or submit it to voters. The council chose an election on Nov. 12.
Separately, Lemartec Construction Operations has applied for a temporary construction use permit at 31800 W. 196th Street, according to Wingman RE. That address corresponds to the DAMAC data center plat. The application, designated TCU2026-0002, was listed on the consent agenda for the Edgerton Planning Commission's Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting at City Hall.
Whether the Planning Commission acted on the permit application at the Nov. 10 meeting has not been confirmed in available records.
