battery energy storage systems

Elkhart Common Council President Arvis Dawson says he isn't worried that a data center moratorium will cause the city to lose out on economic development, since the city has things that data center developers want.

"We don’t know if the pause will last six weeks, six months, a year," says St. Joseph County Economic Development Director Bill Schalliol. "They don’t know. We don’t know."

City of Elkhart officials plan to soon take input from experts as they update their zoning ordinance for battery energy storage systems.
