BOCC Meeting for June 10, 2026

The Leavenworth County Board of Commissioners meeting on June 10, 2026, featured extensive public commentary primarily focused on the proposed Cloverleaf Infrastructure data center project in Tonganoxy. Numerous residents expressed concerns about environmental, health, and economic impacts, including water usage, noise pollution, property values, and potential long-term health effects. Several speakers urged the board to impose a 90-day moratorium to allow for further study and expert testimony before proceeding. The board discussed the existing moratorium, which was set to expire on August 10, 2026, and agreed to maintain it without additional action at this time. Additionally, the board reviewed a procurement matter involving the award of a contract for a tipping floor and apron at the transfer station to Line Weaver Construction, selecting them as the lowest qualified bidder. The meeting also included discussion of potential advisory elections and the challenges of regulating data centers given limited local expertise. No final votes on the data center project were taken during this session.
