City-County Council votes to establish data center moratorium
The Indianapolis City-County Council voted to establish a data center moratorium. However, the proposal requires additional approval from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission before it can go into effect.
The Indianapolis City-County Council has voted in favor of establishing a moratorium on data center development within the city and county, signaling a significant move to regulate the industry's expansion.
Despite the council's vote, the moratorium is not yet fully in effect. The amended proposal now awaits a crucial review and approval from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission. The commission is scheduled to reconvene to consider and potentially ratify the measure, which is a necessary step before the moratorium can be formally implemented.
