On Tuesday, the commissioners voted to add 180 days to the data center moratorium.
As Channel 2 Action News reported in July, commission members wanted the moratorium to give county staff time to research and develop a specific set of regulations for data center development in Cherokee County.
Currently, the county does not have a dedicated ordinance for data centers and there are no pending applications for such facilities.
