Marshalltown city council passes first reading of data center moratorium

The Marshalltown City Council approved the first reading of a four-month data center moratorium amidst public debate. However, the motion to waive subsequent readings and enact the ordinance immediately failed due to a lack of a supermajority, requiring further legislative steps before the moratorium becomes legally enforceable. This delay potentially leaves a window for developers to submit applications under existing regulations.
