The Agenda
Upcoming items at local government meetings, sorted by issue
💡 Energy – Door County Board of Supervisors (Tuesday, 9 a.m.)
The Door County Board of Supervisors will discuss a proposed 12-month moratorium on development of data centers and battery energy storage systems in “unincorporated areas” of the county at the board meeting on Tuesday. County officials said existing zoning regulations and planning policies did not account for the potential impacts of the facilities. The moratorium would give the county time to study possible land use and public welfare impacts and to “maintain public health, safety, and general welfare.” Read the agenda.
📱 Verizon/Frontier – Jacksonport Town Board (Tuesday, 9 a.m.)
The Jacksonport Town Board will consider extending its fiber contract with Frontier, a Verizon company, at its Tuesday meeting. The discussion will initially occur in open session, with the board also weighing whether to move into a closed session to deliberate or negotiate terms involving the investment of public funds and other business for bargaining purposes. Read the agenda.
🧑💼 Human Services – Treatment Court Steering Committee (Thursday, 12 p.m.)
The Treatment Court Steering Committee will discuss staffing updates at its Thursday meeting. Door County Knock previously reported that the Door County Health and Human Services Department hired more Adult Protective Services staff in the fall after a sharp increase in its caseloads.
