Bloomington to release draft data-center rules Oct. 9

Planning Commission hearings set for Oct. 16 and Nov. 16 after packed listening sessions.

Bloomington City Manager Jeff Jurgens said draft data-center regulations will be public Oct. 9, ahead of Planning Commission meetings Oct. 16 and Nov. 16. Listening sessions shaped draft rules on noise, vibration, water, energy, and screening.

Normal recently extended its data-center moratorium to May 2027; Bloomington is moving ahead on local rules rather than waiting on Springfield’s veto session.
