Warrick County Area Plan
PUBLIC NOTICE UPDATE:
State law mandates Area Plan Commission hearings to be advertised in our local paper at least 10 days before a hearing. Due to a clerical error by the newspaper, the legal advertisement for our June 8, 2026, meeting was not published. As a result, we must postpone the public hearing.

The meeting is now rescheduled for July 13, 2026, pending the publication of the legal advertisement on July 2. Additionally, an agenda will be prepared one week prior to the new meeting date, which will be posted on our website and shared on our Facebook page.
At the meeting the Area Plan Commission will be reviewing a draft ordinance proposal regarding data centers designed to place guardrails on data center developments and ensure compatibility with our county plan. A group of dedicated community members spent many hours studying data centers to prepare Warrick County with the following draft ordinances should a data center attempt to locate here.
The draft ordinances were prepared in two steps; the first establishes definitions for three different types of data centers based on size of small, less than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area, medium, between 10,001 and 40,000 square feet and large, anything over 40,000 square feet. The second ordinance further explains guardrails for Medium Data Centers. Large data centers are “not a permitted use within the boundaries of Warrick County, Indiana at this time.”
Any action taken by the Area Plan Commission will go as a recommendation to the County Commissioners.
The full ordinances are attached below.
The Warrick County Area Plan Commission is delegated with guiding the future development of Warrick County, which includes the Town of Elberfled, Town of Lynnville, Tennyson and all remaining areas of Warrick County.
They perform a wide variety of functions related to community planning and land use development which plays an important role in the adoption and administration of zoning ordinances, land divisions and development throughout the county.
