Vermillion
Clay County, South Dakota. Status: Proposed Ordinance.
Vermillion's zoning regulations do not yet have a data center category, and city staff have proposed six ordinances, Nos. 1565 to 1570, that would define data centers, require closed-loop cooling and prohibit cooling towers, and make a data center a conditional use in the General Business and Light Industrial districts and a permitted use in the General Industrial and Heavy Industrial districts. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on August 10, 2026, and as of October 2026 the City Council had not adopted the ordinances and planned a public information meeting.
