Gahan calls for moratorium on new data centers in New Albany

New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan issued a news release Tuesday evening, formally asking the New Albany City Council to implement a one-year moratorium on new data center developments within the city. If the measure is approved by the council, the moratorium would extend its reach beyond New Albany's municipal boundaries to include the two-mile fringe area that falls under the city's planning jurisdiction. The mayor's request signifies a direct governmental action concerning future data center growth in the region.
