Augusta slows rush toward data center moratorium

An Augusta Commission committee recently postponed a decision on a proposed moratorium for new data center applications. The move delays the city's consideration of a temporary halt to data center development, which was prompted by a controversial project on Gordon Highway. This particular development had attracted significant concern from residents during a public hearing in February. The Augusta Commission committee's action means the proposed moratorium will not move forward for immediate consideration, but remains a topic for future discussion.
