Waterloo city leaders are currently considering a resolution to implement a three-month moratorium on new data center development within the city. This proposed pause is in response to both support and opposition expressed by residents regarding data centers in Waterloo.
The city council intends to use this moratorium period for a thorough review, ensuring that any future decisions are well-informed and do not inadvertently disadvantage potential applicants. The council plans to hold a single vote on the resolution at an upcoming meeting.
