The Village of Wellington is considering a temporary moratorium on applications for large-scale data centers. The measure is scheduled for a first reading at a village meeting, although the transcript describes the proposed pause as 100 days while the video title identifies it as 180 days.
The proposal follows action by the Palm Beach County Commission, which approved a one-year moratorium on data center projects after rejecting the controversial Project Tango. County officials intend to use the pause to develop permanent rules and regulations governing data center development.
