Council vote on data center moratorium likely to be delayed until mid-May. See why

City Council President Brian Grizzell has announced that a vote on a proposed temporary moratorium on data center developments in the capital city will likely be postponed until the council's May 19th meeting. Grizzell, who introduced the ordinance last month after consulting with the city attorney, cited concerns regarding the potential impact of future data center projects on the city's critical water, sewer, and electrical infrastructure. City Attorney Drew Martin also advised on the ordinance. The delay suggests that city officials are taking time to thoroughly assess the implications of data center expansion on the existing public services.
