Godfrey extends pause on data centers
The Godfrey Village Board has extended its moratorium on accepting applications for data centers. This decision follows an initial resolution passed in January, allowing the village more time to understand the emerging industry, a trend also seen in other Illinois and Missouri communities.
The Godfrey Village Board has extended its moratorium on accepting data center applications, a decision following an initial resolution passed in January that was later approved as an ordinance. According to Godfrey
Building and Zoning Administrator Tony Cain, the extension is necessary to allow the village more time to understand the emerging data center industry, despite there being no immediate projects under consideration. This move reflects a broader trend, as several communities in both Illinois and Missouri have implemented similar pauses on data center development since Godfrey first enacted its moratorium.
