Murray City Council holds first reading on data center ordinance
The Murray City Council held the first reading of a draft ordinance designed to regulate data centers, aiming to be proactive despite no official proposals. This follows weeks of discussion and a previous one-week moratorium on data center development, indicating active community engagement and opposition.
The Murray City Council in Kentucky has conducted the first reading of a proposed ordinance designed to regulate data centers, following weeks of community discourse. This initiative is proactive, as no specific data center project has been officially proposed for the city.
Earlier, the Murray Planning Commission convened its initial meeting to explore the issue, revealing strong community sentiment for stricter controls. In response, the City Council had previously imposed a one-week moratorium on all data center development. Local opposition to potential data centers is evident, as highlighted by a Murray State University student seen protesting.
