San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria is seeking to advance a temporary moratorium on new data centers within city limits after plans emerged for a 400-megawatt facility at the former NAVWAR site in the Midway District. Activists and politicians oppose the proposal, citing concerns about its location and potential effects on affordable housing, while developer Manchester Financial Group says the preliminary plans also include a medical center, university and defense campus.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria is seeking a temporary moratorium on construction of new data centers within city limits. The move follows disclosure of preliminary plans for a 400-megawatt data center at the NAVWAR campus in the Midway District, which activists and politicians criticized during a downtown rally.
Manchester Financial Group is developing the proposal and said the broader concept could include a medical center, university and defense campus, in addition to the data center. No agreements have been reached. While data center opposition often centers on environmental impacts, the San Diego concerns highlighted in the report focus primarily on the project's potential effect on affordable housing and its proposed location in the middle of the city.
