A judge has issued a temporary halt to the construction of a hyperscale data center in Pine Island, Minnesota. The project, referred to as "Project Skyway," faced legal challenge from the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA).
The MCEA filed a lawsuit against the developer, Ryan Cos., and the City of Pine Island, contending that the environmental review conducted for the data center was insufficient. The court sided with the MCEA on a temporary basis, agreeing to pause construction until a final decision in the case is reached.
