Sedgwick County Announces Update to Data Center Listening Town Hall
(Sedgwick County, Kan.) – Due to anticipated crowd size, Sedgwick County has changed the location for the Listening Town Hall regarding data centers on Thursday, March 12, 2026, to K-State Research and Extension – Sedgwick County, 7001 W. 21st St. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and will serve as an opportunity for the public to provide feedback to the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC). No action will be taken at this event.
Sedgwick County will provide an update once live-streaming details are confirmed.
The BoCC passed an interim development control resolution Jan. 14, 2026, to allow for the review and creation of zoning regulations and pause any potential applications on data centers. On March 4, BoCC passed a resolution to extend the interim development control to June 11, 2026, due to the need for additional public communication and process development.
The Planning Department will also host a town hall on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. at the K-State Research and Extension – Sedgwick County to discuss zoning protocols currently in place, what has been explored and provide an opportunity for public discussion and feedback.
