The cities of Cascade and Peosta, Iowa, have approved moratoriums on data center development, aiming to implement specific regulations for these facilities. This decision by local officials stems from growing interest in data center projects within Dubuque County, where at least one developer is exploring options and another company already plans a build in Cascade.

The moratoriums will allow time to establish these regulations before new entities are welcomed.
