A proposed data center moratorium in Aurora failed to advance after receiving six votes, one short of the seven required for council members to discuss it. The vote effectively stalled consideration of the proposed Trident pause.

Gov: Aurora City Council
Aurora City Council members voted 6-5 on whether to proceed with discussion of a proposed moratorium affecting data center development. Council rules require seven votes before the issue can be discussed, so the measure failed to advance.
The proposed pause, referred to as the Trident moratorium, remains stalled following the vote. The article also includes an unrelated reference to electric vehicle fees in Grand Junction.
