Vantage requests Aurora pause data center rules while seeking new Trident site
Vantage is asking Aurora to pause new data center regulations for at least 90 days while it explores moving the proposed Trident data center farther from homes and schools. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman rejected the request, while nearby residents questioned whether the pause is a delay tactic.
Vantage has asked the city of Aurora to impose a 90-day pause on new data center rules as it evaluates alternative locations for its proposed Trident data center near E-470. The company says it is willing to consider sites farther from residential areas and schools in response to neighborhood concerns.
The request has drawn opposition from residents and Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, who said he does not support pausing the new guidelines. Residents remain concerned that the request could delay city action while allowing the project’s existing plans and application to continue moving forward.
