Fieldstate monitors agendas, applications, and legal notices across local jurisdictions — surfacing consequential zoning, siting, and land-use decisions while there's still time to engage. Rezonings, data-center approvals, annexations, moratoriums: on the public record long before the headline.

detected Oct 14Greenup County, KY — Greenup data-center moratorium, second reading
Ashland, KY — Ashland Planning Commission data-center zoning ordinance amendment hearing
Boyd County, KY — Boyd County data-center moratorium ordinance publication (30-day clock)
Boyd County publishes no meeting agendas online — but Kentucky law requires published notice. A legal notice on July 7 disclosed a special meeting on a data-center moratorium; it passed July 9.
No national tracker lists a single Kentucky moratorium. Our corridor brief was in a developer's hands within 24 hours.
Two Durham proposals, two weeks apart: one drew twenty opposing speakers and failed 1–6; the other drew twelve and passed 4–3. Similar rooms, opposite results.
726decisions with real dates in one city's record, 2013–2026 — the history that tells these apart
Continuous reading of agendas, minutes, permit applications, and statutorily required legal notices — including jurisdictions that publish almost nothing online.
Every matter is scored for consequence — stakes and public contestation — against a growing history of real outcomes: vote splits, speaker counts, decision patterns by body.
Subscribers receive early-warning briefs: what's moving, who decides, what the record shows, and the dated events ahead — every claim labeled documented or inferred.
Know which matters are heading toward a decision — before the retainer call comes.
Entitlement climate, moratorium risk, and decision-body history for the places you're building.
Local approvals as leading indicators — siting decisions surface here months before they reach filings or coverage.
The Wire is free to read and cite. Local decisions deserve coverage; we surface where to look.
Public records only. Everything Fieldstate publishes traces to a government record, a published notice, or an on-record statement. No social-media monitoring, no private data.
Documented vs. inferred, labeled on every claim. A fact and a hypothesis never wear the same clothes — in our briefs or on the Wire.
Side-neutral by architecture. The Wire and our diagnostic briefs describe public matters as they stand; they don't advocate.
We work closely with a first group of public-affairs firms, siting teams, and research desks — get corridor briefs on the places you work.
