Gallatin City Council members are slated to discuss significant developments concerning data centers and land use in the city. Key items on the agenda include a proposed two-year moratorium on new data center construction, which, if enacted, would halt new data center development for two years. Gallatin already hosts a Meta data center campus.
Additionally, the council will consider reclassifying 255 acres of rural land to allow for more industrial growth. This change is part of broader discussions that include a new zoning map, indicating a potential overhaul of the city's land use regulations to accommodate industrial expansion.
