Spokane County commissioners are set to vote today on instituting a 9-month moratorium on data center development across the county. This action comes amidst growing concerns from local leaders regarding the proliferation of data centers.
The City of Spokane has already implemented its own moratorium on data center construction. Additionally, the City of Airway Heights has requested a feasibility study to assess the potential impacts of a proposed data center on its community, with a decision on proceeding with the study expected later this month.
