The Leavenworth County Board of County Commissioners held a meeting on September 2, 2026, which included extensive public comments primarily focused on concerns about hyperscale data centers and associated battery energy storage systems (BESS). The board discussed and adopted moratorium resolutions on new data center and BESS applications pending the adoption of regulations. They also considered but failed a motion to hold an advisory election on data center development. Procurement-related actions included approval of a service provider agreement with Vital Core Health Strategies for correctional health care services, authorization of contracts for engineering review services with Call Valley Engineering, and approval of a wastewater engineering study contract with Cook Flat and Strobel. Additionally, the board authorized a cost funding agreement with Wolf Creek Energy Storage LLC to cover inspection and evaluation expenses for a related project. Several zoning and subdivision plat approvals were granted, and a property was declared uninhabitable due to unsanitary conditions. The meeting also addressed public comment policies and plans for future community engagement sessions.
