Data center moratorium passed at Jackson City Council meeting

The Jackson City Council has enacted a 12-month moratorium on new data center construction within city limits. This decision, made at a July 13 meeting, aims to provide city officials with time to thoroughly assess and understand the potential impacts that such developments could have on the city and its surrounding areas. The resolution was brought before the Council as a measure to temporarily halt the founding of data centers while the city conducts its due diligence.
