Grand County Delays Skijoring Permit, Keeps Data Center Moratorium

Grand County delayed action on a permit for skijoring and agreed to leave its moratorium on data centers in place.

Skijoring permit

The county did not approve the skijoring permit at this point. The decision was delayed, leaving the permit process unresolved.

Skijoring combines skiing with being pulled by a horse or other animal. The county’s action concerns permission for that activity, but the details of the permit, including its applicant, location and any new decision date, have not been announced here.

Data center moratorium

Grand County also agreed to keep its data center moratorium in place. A moratorium temporarily pauses or limits a type of development while a local government considers its rules or policy.

The county’s decision means the moratorium remains active. The action does not establish a new data center project or announce a change to the county’s broader policy.

What happens next

The skijoring permit remains pending after the delay. The data center moratorium remains in place, so any future change would require another county action.

The county has taken two separate steps: delaying the permit decision and continuing the moratorium. No candidate or election is directly connected to either matter.
