Auburn City Councilor Terry Cuddy explains his vote in support of a one-year moratorium on data centers in Auburn, citing nationwide concerns about their liabilities. He urges residents to participate in the comprehensive plan online to speak out against future data center development in the city.
Auburn City Councilor Terry Cuddy explained his vote in favor of a one-year moratorium on data centers within the city, noting that the state has adopted a similar measure.
Councilor Cuddy expressed concerns about data centers, stating they "have more liabilities than assets" and highlighting the issue's nationwide scope. He emphasized that while the moratorium is a positive initial step, the ultimate responsibility for preventing data center development in Auburn lies with its residents.
He encouraged citizens concerned about Auburn becoming a site for data centers to actively participate in the comprehensive plan online and "speak out against these data storage facilities." Cuddy underscored that the 12-month moratorium provides a window for the community to ensure such developments do not occur in Auburn.
