Peosta reviews data center development concept plans
Peosta, Iowa is reviewing data center development concept plans to inform its city ordinance ahead of an expiring moratorium. The city enacted a six-month moratorium on data center development, which is set to expire on December 20. No development action will be taken until a new ordinance is established.
Peosta, Iowa, is currently evaluating data center development concept plans that were submitted last week and discussed during a recent work session. The city indicates that these plans are intended to provide context for potential development, aiding in the formulation of a comprehensive city ordinance for data centers.
Earlier this summer, Peosta implemented a six-month moratorium on data center development, which is scheduled to conclude on December 20. The city stated it might either extend or lift this moratorium, depending on the progress of its new city ordinance.
Officials confirmed that no development actions will be taken until the ordinance is finalized and adopted.
