Littleton to consider 6-month moratorium on data centers

The Littleton City Council is considering a six-month pause on new data center development as Colorado municipalities respond to growing interest in the facilities. The moratorium would give local officials time to develop regulations tailored to data centers.

The measure is scheduled for a first reading Tuesday. A public hearing, public comment period and second reading are planned for Nov. 3, meaning the proposal has not yet been adopted.
