Mount Pleasant committee revisits data center issues as moratorium advances
The Mount Pleasant Planning Committee will revisit zoning and land-use rules for data centers as the town moves toward a 120-day pause on new projects. The proposed moratorium would give officials time to define data centers and establish a public review process before future projects are proposed.
The Mount Pleasant Planning Committee is scheduled to discuss data center development, zoning and land use at an Oct. 5 meeting. The town is advancing a proposed 120-day moratorium on new data center projects.
If approved by the Mount Pleasant Town Council, the pause would give local leaders time to define what qualifies as a data center and create a public review process that allows residents to weigh in. No large-scale data center proposals are currently pending, according to the report.
