The Salix City Council approved a resolution stating that the city has no data center moratorium in place. The clarification followed uncertainty over whether a July council vote had created a temporary ban on data center development.
The issue comes amid local calls for a one-year moratorium, including a sign displayed in a Salix resident's yard. The resolution does not establish a new restriction on data centers.
