Mayor Coffman cancels special meeting over Aurora data center moratorium, citing votes

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman canceled a special City Council meeting that had been scheduled to consider an indefinite moratorium on data center applications. Coffman said two council members who support the moratorium could not attend, leaving the measure unlikely to pass without their votes.
The proposed moratorium would pause acceptance of new data center applications until Aurora adopts additional regulations, without setting a specific end date. Council members are expected to consider the measure at their Oct. 26 meeting instead.
