Pulaski County officials are moving forward with a proposal for a 12-month moratorium on data center development. The revised moratorium is scheduled for presentation to the Pulaski County Quorum Court's Agenda Committee on Tuesday night. This measure aims to temporarily halt new data center projects within the county.

The potential moratorium comes as communities across the United States grapple with the rapid expansion of the data center industry and its impact on local resources and infrastructure. The Quorum Court's Agenda Committee will review the proposal before it can potentially advance for a full vote by the Pulaski County Quorum Court.
