Nicholasville city meeting to feature e-bike safety, data center moratorium request

Nicholasville city leaders are set to convene for a regular meeting where a significant item on the docket involves a request for Mayor Alex Carter to enact a year-long moratorium on data center development projects and associated permissions. The City Council is expected to consider an ordinance that, if approved, would halt new data center construction and permitting for a period of one year.

The meeting also includes other major items, such as the first readings of three ordinances concerning e-bikes and e-scooters, aiming to establish safety requirements and restrict their use on city sidewalks. However, the data center moratorium request is a key point of discussion for the city leaders.
