Missoula County Completes Data Center Study, Explores Zoning Rules
Missoula County has completed its study on data centers and is now exploring zoning regulations for them.

Missoula, MT, October 26, 2026 —
Missoula County has completed a study on data centers and is exploring zoning regulations for the facilities, according to the information provided about the county’s work.
The summary does not detail the study’s findings, when it was completed or which parts of the county’s government are considering possible rules. It also does not specify what zoning options are under review or whether any proposal has been drafted. The county’s exploration of regulations does not, on the information available, establish that new rules have been adopted.
No information was provided about the study’s scope, the number or location of data centers considered, or the issues examined. The summary also does not identify any public meetings, community feedback, officials’ comments or next steps in the zoning process. It is therefore not possible to describe the study’s conclusions or say how they relate to the county’s current consideration of regulations.
The reported development is limited to two points: the study is complete, and the county is exploring zoning regulations for data centers. Further details about the study and any potential rules were not provided. The timing and process for the county’s consideration are also unspecified.
