Clackamas County to Hold Hearings on Proposed Data Center Moratorium
Clackamas County will hold two public hearings in Oregon City on a proposed temporary moratorium on data center development in unincorporated areas. The Board of County Commissioners will gather public input before deciding whether to adopt the moratorium.
The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners will hold two public hearings in October at the county’s Public Services Building in Oregon City to consider a temporary moratorium on data center development in unincorporated Clackamas County. Residents may attend in person or participate online and provide testimony about the proposed pause and broader data center regulation.
County staff will explain the criteria for establishing a moratorium, but will not propose data center code changes during the hearings. Following the public hearing process, the board will decide whether to adopt the moratorium, with public feedback potentially informing future regulatory changes.
