The Millington Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a resolution placing a six-month moratorium on data center development. The pause took effect immediately and is intended to give city leaders time to study and analyze the potential impacts of computing data centers.

Officials also plan to develop zoning amendments and establish guidelines before allowing such facilities. The city said Millington currently has no data centers, pending permits or applications, and described the moratorium as a proactive measure.
