Denver mayor announces moratorium on new data centers

Denver leaders announced a moratorium on new data centers in the city, citing concerns over environmental impact and resource usage. The moratorium will allow the city to review and strengthen regulations around data centers. The mayor's office says existing data centers and projects currently permitted or under construction are not impacted, but may be expected to follow new guidelines once announced. City officials plan to introduce legislation to manage data center growth in the city responsibly and sustainably.
