Data Centers and Cryptomining Regulations
Union County now has real rules for data centers and cryptomining: they're limited to heavy industrial zones with special permits, bigger setbacks from homes, noise baselines and a 12-month teardown rule for abandoned sites. The county can't ban them outright under state law, so this shapes where and how they can be built.
