Kansas Senate majority leader Chase Blasi seeks a three-year pause on data center developments in Sedgwick County due to community concerns and lack of transparency from companies. Blasi has urged the Sedgwick County Commission to take action, emphasizing potential impacts on local farming and ranching.

The Commission had previously enacted a 90-day suspension on data center permits. Stakeholders, including the Sedgwick County Farm Bureau, are advocating for responsible development and thorough assessments of resource impacts.
