The record, newest first
The judge extended the restraining order first granted Sept. 8 and urged caution on construction while a preliminary injunction is decided; no date for that decision was reported. (KY3, Sept. 21, 2026)
At a hearing on the developer's request for a restraining order, its attorney said the developer chose the county because it has no planning and zoning; the county argued the moratorium applies because construction had not begun. No ruling was issued that day. (KY3, Sept. 2, 2026)
Benton County commissioners signed a six-month data center moratorium. (KY3, Sept. 2, 2026)

- KY3 (Sept. 21) also reports NSI suing Springfield over its moratorium, arguing it does not apply to a property at 2900 S. National Ave.; not tracked as a separate project.
- The developer's principal, a private individual, is not named.
