MARSHALL – One week after the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners extended by a year its moratorium on cryptocurrency/data processing operations on May 7, the Madison County commissioners chose a different option, electing instead to approve Land Use Ordinance changes to include language regulating such facilities.

Madison County instated a one-year moratorium on June 13, 2023 to allow time to include language in the county Land Use Ordinance, which made no mention of such facilities at the time.

With its moratorium set to expire next month, the county unanimously approved a resolution written by Development Services Director Brad Guth to include language amendments to the Land Use Ordinances reflecting the data processing facilities.
